The Palmer Raids primarily targeted anarchists, communists, and leftist radicals in the United States during the early 1920s, particularly in the wake of the Russian Revolution and growing labor unrest. These raids were part of the broader Red Scare, characterized by fear of communism and political extremism. Many immigrants, especially those from Eastern Europe, were disproportionately affected, facing arrests and deportations without formal charges. The raids aimed to suppress political dissent and were marked by widespread violations of civil liberties.
