A Mitchell Palmer -- Woodrow Wilson's head of the Justice Department as the Attorney General of the United States -- blamed anarchists, Bolshevik's, and communists for being behind a seemingly widespread series of riots, terrorist bombings, labor unrest, and various other anti government & un American acts in the United States during the 1910s. In response he committed a series of un American acts of his own by orchestrating the so called Red scare of the late 1910s. The Palmer raids of 1919, coordinated by a young J. Edgar Hoover, culminated in the rounding up and deportation up thousands of suspected anarchists (including Emma Goldman).

Why did Attorney General A Mitchell Palmer dislike Bolsheviks so much?

Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer strongly disliked Bolsheviks due to their revolutionary ideology, which he believed threatened American democracy and capitalism. Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, he perceived Bolshevism as a direct challenge to U.S. values and feared the potential spread of communism in America. This fear was exacerbated by a series of labor strikes and bombings, leading to the Red Scare, during which Palmer launched aggressive measures, including the Palmer Raids, to suppress suspected radicals and protect national security.
