Roosevelt signs Executive Order 9066, incarcerating Japanese Americans. It called for the deportation of enemy immigrants in western military areas. This was a reaction towards the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese in 1941 which put fear into citizens about attacks on the West Coast, where naval ports, commercial shipping, and agriculture were abundant. The executive orders also affected Italian and German Americans, but the vast majority were Japanese. This fueled the racism against Japanese Americans. Japanese immigrants and their descendants, even if they were citizens or have been here for a long time, were put into essentially concentration camps with terrible conditions. They could take only what they could carry and lived in disgusting and tiny facilities which were cramped and in hot and isolated areas. Many lost businesses, farms and loved ones as a result.

No person of Japanese ancestry living in the United States was ever convicted of any serious act of espionage or sabotage during the war. Yet these innocent people were removed from their homes and placed in relocation centers, many for the duration of the war. On the other hand, between 1942 and 1944, 18 Caucasians were tried for spying for Japan, and at least ten were convicted in court. A lot of the time their families had no idea where they were for weeks. Some internees were reunited with their families in relocation centers. However, many remained in Justice camps for the war. The JACL's policy of cooperation and appeasement was followed by some Japanese Americans but ignored by others. Were not allowed to be part of the war due to race.]]> 2018-03-17 01:09:24 UTC https://padlet.com/20cottno/76w82tya7dv3/wish/243027490 20cottno https://padlet.com/20cottno/76w82tya7dv3/wish/243028118 Fred Korematsu did not comply with the order to leave his home and job even though his parents abandoned their home and their flower-nursery business and reported to a camp.  Korematsu stayed behind, had plastic surgery on his eyes, changed his name to Clyde Sarah, and claimed that he was Spanish and Hawaiian. The FBI eventually arrested Korematsu. After his arrest, the American Civil Liberties Union represented him and questioned the constitutionality of the government’s order. Korematsu was convicted of violating military orders issued under Executive Order 9066, given five years of probation, and sent to an Assembly Center in San Bruno, California. Korematsu’s attorneys appealed the trial court’s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals, which agreed with the trial court that he had violated military orders. The Supreme Court ruled, in a 6-3 decision, that the detention was a “military necessity” not based on race.
