The Palmer Raids, conducted in 1919-1920 under Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, were criticized for their violation of civil liberties and due process. They targeted suspected radicals, particularly immigrants, leading to widespread arrests, deportations, and the use of excessive force without sufficient evidence. The raids were often based on fear and paranoia related to the Red Scare, resulting in unjust treatment and a disregard for individual rights. Ultimately, they highlighted the dangers of government overreach in the name of national security.
