I think the groups most often arrested under the Sedition Act were immigrants from countries including Germany. They were often wrongly accused of spying.

Answer:

the groups that were most often arrested under the sedition acte were

German immigrants.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sedition act was a bill passed by congress and the president o the united states in 1918 to fight espionage and enemy countries' recruitment of nationals or the inhabitants of the united states in times of war. The first world war erupted in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and after much resistance from the U.S., the country entered the fight after scalations grew. Including espionage of foreign forces to hurt the U.S. from the inside. The reason behind the German immigrants arrests was that they were contacted by their home country to join their cause.
