Answer:

The correct answer is A. A. Mitchell Palmer instituted special forces to arrest Communists.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alexander Mitchell Palmer, born May 4, 1872 in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, died May 11, 1936 in Washington, D.C., was an American politician from the Democratic Party.

He was a member of the House of Representatives from 1909 to 1915 and the US Attorney General from 1919 to 1921.

Even before Palmer became Attorney General, the US Government had launched a campaign against Communists and Anarchists. When Palmer continued the campaign as Attorney General, the campaign got the name of Palmer Raids. During this period, at least 10,000 suspected left-wingers were arrested in the United States.
