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.

Mitchell Palmer, as U.S. Attorney General during the Red Scare in the early 1920s, conducted a series of aggressive raids known as the Palmer Raids to target suspected radicals and anarchists. His approach often involved using federal agents to conduct mass arrests without warrants, leading to the detention and deportation of many immigrants and political dissidents. The raids were marked by a climate of fear and suspicion, as Palmer sought to eliminate perceived threats to American society and government. Ultimately, his tactics were criticized for their violation of civil liberties and for the lack of concrete evidence against many of those arrested.

The Red Scare, particularly the Palmer Raids of 1919-1920, was a period of intense fear of communism and radical leftism in the United States following World War I. Initiated by Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, the raids targeted suspected anarchists and communists, leading to thousands of arrests and deportations without proper legal procedures. This movement was fueled by social unrest, labor strikes, and the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, resulting in widespread paranoia about communist infiltration in American society. The Palmer Raids ultimately highlighted the tension between national security and civil liberties.
A reduction in anarchy or any growth in radical networks would have been a positive outcome of the Palmer raids. A lot of the efforts carried out by the Palmer raids were written off and some liens were denounced.
