The raids that were carried out in November 1919 and January 1920 by the Department of Justice to capture and arrest suspected socialists, anarchists, and communists and to deport them from the U.S.
The raids were carried out because people feared that the anarchists, socialists, and communists would try to overthrow the government.
- The raids mostly targeted Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe and Italian immigrants with supposed leftist ties and also aimed at the immigrant leftist labor activists and Italian anarchists.
The raids occurred under the leadership of Mitchell Palmer.
