Two-thirds of those incarcerated were United States citizens.]]> 2017-02-08 18:04:36 UTC https://padlet.com/dillonk2555/qavf4rekoi17/wish/152558436 dillonk2555 https://padlet.com/dillonk2555/qavf4rekoi17/wish/152563886 As a consequence of the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the United States’ subsequent declaration of war against Japan, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942. This order authorized the US military to incarcerate Japanese Americans and those of Japanese descent living in the West. The Federal Government assembled over 120,000 people hailing from as far south as Arizona to the furthest reaches of the northwest into ten internment camps.]]> 2017-02-08 18:18:55 UTC https://padlet.com/dillonk2555/qavf4rekoi17/wish/152563886 dillonk2555 https://padlet.com/dillonk2555/qavf4rekoi17/wish/152564861 Tule Lake opened on May 27, 1942.  Tule Lake Segregation Center was the only internment camp designated as a “segregation center.” Tule Lake housed over 18,000 internees, many of whom were considered “disloyal” due to attempts to protest their incarceration and internment. For this reason, Tule Lake was a hotbed of political resistance and a profound example of the Japanese Americans’ struggle to protect themselves and their families.]]> 2017-02-08 18:21:34 UTC https://padlet.com/dillonk2555/qavf4rekoi17/wish/152564861 lukem4043 https://padlet.com/dillonk2555/qavf4rekoi17/wish/152565730 2017-02-08 18:23:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dillonk2555/qavf4rekoi17/wish/152565730 dillonk2555 https://padlet.com/dillonk2555/qavf4rekoi17/wish/152866888
Tule Lake was located in the Klamath Falls Basin, California. The size of Tule Lake was 26,000 acres.  The peak population was 18,789.  Situated in Modoc County, California, close to the California-Oregon border, Tule Lake was the largest of the ten War Relocation Authority (WRA) camps. It served as both a WRA camp and as a “segregation center” for all those who were deemed “disloyals” following the 1943 loyalty questionnaire. With segregation, an additional 12,000 internees arrived at Tule Lake while roughly 6,500 “loyal” internees were sent to six of the other WRA camps to accommodate this influx. With the shift to Tule Lake as a “segregation center,” heightened security took the form of twenty-two additional guard towers and the presence of military police and armored tanks. As Tule Lake remained open for the duration of the Department of Justice administrative hearings, it was the last WRA camp to close.  The closing date of Tule Lake was March 20, 1946.
