	Palmer Raids - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Palmer Raids were a series of controversial raids by the U.S. Justice and Immigration Departments from 1918 to 1921 on the radical left in the United States.
		Palmer, twice the intended victim of assassination by anarchists in bomb attacks (who left flyers at the scene clearly stating their intent), was motivated by the public outcry against violent political movements.
		The public reaction to these raids was favorable, and in fact may have forestalled reactionary violence by the public in the form of vigilantes.

		The Dec. 12 raids by immigration police against hundreds of workers at meatpacking plants across the country bear all the earmarks of an earlier anti-immigrant chapter in U.S. history.

	We've Been Through This Movie Before: The 82nd Anniversary of the Palmer Raids
		Palmer's outstanding achievements in documenting, locating and harassing tens of thousands of "suspects", in a time long before computers and electronic databases were invented, were made possible by the talent and efforts of his number one assistant, J. Edgar Hoover, of which more discussion will follow.
		What had begun as the "Slacker Raids" targeting military draft evaders and conscientious objectors soon became a systematic campaign to manipulate public fear of "Reds."

		The similarities that exist today – the "raids" of Attorney General Ashcroft, the detainment of thousands of "aliens", the quickly passed "terrorist" acts that severely infringe our civil liberties, the unquestioning support by the public – to that which happened in 1919-1920 are remarkable.
