Partisan Law Enforcement in the Palmer Raids

April 28th, 2009 | Categories: American History, American Politics, Communism

The following account describes how bickering partisanship played itself out during the ‘Red scare”. They raids were conducted on suspected radicals, communists, and anarchists.

“In the last days of December the plans were completed, and the warrants went out by the thousands to Department of Justice officials across the country. The target date for te raids was to be January 2.

In Chicago, when the Republican State Attorney Hoyne learned that the Democractic administration was planning a raid, he made ready for his own raid to steal  the thunder of the administration. On January 1, state and local officials swooped down in Chicago in 300 separate raids, picking up 200 prisoners. Hoyne complained that they would have had more prisoners except that the Department of Justice tipped off the radicals that the state was raiding.”
