came today, although the news was reporting on the raids of yesterday. Technically, the raid of January 1 was a Chicago Police Department raid, although in coordination with the Federal government. Chicago was complaining today about the lack of help from yesterday.
By the end of the raids about 10,000 people would be arrested.
A lot of the warrants were soon cancelled as illegal. 556 resident aliens were deported. Originally the government reported having found a couple of bombs but later the news on that stopped, so whatever the truth of it is, it's vague. Only two pistols were seized. Public opinion turned against Palmer quickly and he went from being a probable contender for the Presidency to not being one.
