- The Palmer Raids were a series of raids conducted by the department of Justice to capture and arrest suspected radicals and deport them from the United States
- The raids and arrests occurred in November 1919 and January 1920 under the leadership of Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer and J. Edgar Hoover
- Raids started after there were strikes that got national attention, race riots in more than 30 cities, and two sets of bombings in April and June 1919, including one bomb mailed to Palmer’s home
- More than 500 foreign citizens were deported during the raids
- Sacco and Vanzetti
- In 1920, two men robbed and murdered a paymaster and his guard as they transferred $15,776 from the Slater and Morrill Shoe factory
- Due to the anti-immigrant, anti-communist times of the Red Scare, two Italian Immigrants and known anarchists, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, were accused and arrested
- Sacco and Vanzetti were convicted on circumstantial evidence of capital murder and sentenced to death
- Sacco and Vanzetti appealed their convictions but they lost and were executed in 1927
