“Out of the sly and crafty eyes of many of them
leap cupidity, cruelty, insanity and crime;
from their lopsided faces, sloping brows,
and misshapen features may be recognized
the unmistakable criminal type.”
Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer
(spoken in 1920 after Palmer had 10,000 people
rounded up and arrested. Most were anarchists,
socialists, communists, labor activists and various
immigrants)
