∙ 11y agoFollowing the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japenese U.S. military officials claimed that Japenese Americans posed a threat to national security. Based on this President Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, giving military officials the power to limit the civil rights of Japenese Amercians. They set a curfew, later sending them to detention camps similar to what the Nazis were doing over in Europe. Fred Korematsu defied the order to leave his home and was later convicted. After being urged by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) he appealed his conviction. The Supreme Court upheld his conviction saying that military necessity made internment constitutional though Korematsu argued it was unconstitutional because it was based on race.
