Palmer+tlp

= The Palmer Raids = November 7th, 1919 Palmer ordered a series of raids on offices of the Union of Russian Workers in 12 cities. January 1920 Palmer ordered another series of raids, this time on headquarters of various radical organizations. Nearly 6,000 people were arrested. By the end of 1920 almost 600 people had been deported and many were being detained. 32 states would follow Palmer's lead and make it illegal to join groups advocating for revolution. Treatment of detainies was without their civil liberties and lacked any congruency with the Constitution of the United States. Yet all the while Palmer was praised as a hero. Unfortunately his raids did not turn up any hard evidence of any revolution conspiracies. Which in and of its self shot any chance of Palmer's career going further.
