Answer:

People were denied their right to free speech , is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A series of raids took place in the period between November 1919 and January 1920, by the time of First Red Scare by the Department of Justice of the United States, is known as the Palmer Raids. These raids were initiated under the Presidency of Woodrow Wilson. It began to capture and detain suspected extremist leftists, essentially East European settlers, Italians, and particularly communists and anarchists, and banish them from the U.S.
