Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Palmer raids were a series of violent and abusive law-enforcement raids that were directed at radicals and anarchists in 1919 and 1920. Americans were scared of potential revolutionaries so they allowed Palmer to act with impunity. Many were taken from their homes without arrest warrants and deported.The raids were nothing more than intellectual radicals who had committed no crime nor participated in anything illegal.
