"First raids against 'vagrants'

First raids against 'vagrants' (the term 'vagrants' being used loosely, to include anyone the authorities are suspicious of). Thousands are arrested, although most are soon released. Welfare authorities tighten restrictions against 'vagrants'. 'Disorderly vagrants' can be arrested, assigned to compulsory labour schemes, or incarcerated.
