Respuesta :

They helped show the American public that there was little evidence of communism in the country.

Answer:

The Palmer Raids resulted in the deportation of suspected radicals based on little evidence.

Explanation:

The Palmer Raids were an official operation by the Department of Justice between 1919 and 1920 to arrest and expel left-wing radicals in the country. The action was initiated by Justice Minister A. Mitchell Palmer, who appointed J. Edgar Hoover, FBI Intelligence Director, to head the operation. Thousands of left-wing activists were arrested, particularly in the context of raids on anarchists, but only a few hundred were expelled.
