The Palmer Raids occurred during a time when Americans were fearful of anarchists, communists, and immigrants in general. Italians were considered to all be mobsters or criminals, or radicals or anarchists. The Attorney-General took advantage of those feelings to advance his political career by rounding up immigrants and those he accused or assumed to be anarchists.
The Italian immigrants, Sacco and Vanzetti, were arrested for an armed robbery in South Braintree, Massachusetts, in which a guard and a paymaster were killed. They were promptly found guilty and sentenced to die in the electric chair. The newly formed American Civil Liberties Union, Italian-American groups, and labor organizations publicized the fact that there was no hard evidence against the two and some of the evidence was invented by the prosecution The Judge at their trial was openly prejudiced against the Italians and called them "damned dagos." Sacco and Vanzetti admitted to being radicals in their political beliefs but proclaimed their innocence of the crime.
