The Palmer Raids (1919-1920) under Attorney General Mitchell Palmer targeted political groups deemed objectionable by those in power, including isolationists, socialists, communists, and people associated with anarchism, reflecting the desire to enforce a vision of the United States as 'a republic of white Christians' through expulsion of those who didn't fit.
