The Palmer Raids were a series of controversial raids by the U.S. Justice and Immigration Departments from 1919 to 1921 on suspected radical leftists in the United States. The palmer raids increased the man power and funding for the BOI (Bureau of Investigation) which later became the FBI. Even though Americans were worried about communists and anarchists the palmer raids were intended to rid, they were also worried about their government acting as vigilantes, breaking into homes and arresting people with little concern for due process of law.
