Answer: Immigrants suspected of being communists and/or anarchists.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Palmer Raids is a 1919 event initiated by President Woodward Wilson. These actions were directed against immigrants from Italy and much of Eastern Europe for fear that they might proclaim the ideas of communism in the country. About 3,000 people were arrested in those raids, and more than 500 people were expelled from the country.
