Executive Order 9066 (Feb. 19, 1942) Due to World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave permission to the confinement of “tens of thousands of American citizens of Japanese ancestry and residents from Japan.” This executive order gave the military the power to “ban any citizen from a 50-60 mile wide coastal area from Washington State to California.” This order also gave the military permission to transport these citizens to centers that they ran in California, Arizona, Washington, and Oregon. This same order was also applied to residents of the U.S. who were of German or Italian descent; however, it was much worse for the Japanese Americans. This executive order destroyed communities and was aimed towards citizens and aliens. (Executive

    United States, 320 U.S. 81 (1943). In this case the President’s executive orders come into question as well, but instead of being based on the violation of the person not relocating, it is focused on the violation of a curfew. The court upheld that the executive order was, as well, necessary as a protective measure in a time of war. Because of this the president 's orders and the implementation of a curfew on Japanese Americans in wartime were decided to be constitutional. The court claims that “In determining validity of regulations imposing curfew on persons of Japanese ancestry in military area created under authority of Executive Order, the regulations, under the circumstances, were measures for purpose of safeguarding the military area, at time of threatened air raids and invasion by Japanese forces, from danger of sabotage and espionage.”

    After the Japanese attacked the United States’ naval base of Pearl Harbor in 1941, relations between the two nations became even more complicated and hostile. This attack put the United States on edge, and the idea of the Japanese planning more attacks made the United States question the loyalty of some of its Japanese-American citizens. The United States were also worried about how the rest of the population would react to and feel towards these Japanese-Americans. This fear and lack of certainty made the United States government take some questionable measures. President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 soon after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and it resulted in the relocation of the majority of Japanese-Americans.

    Executive Order 9066: Roots in Prejudice Japan’s bombing of Pearl Harbor crippled the US Naval fleet and killed thousands of soldiers and citizens but more significantly, it destroyed American’s sense of safety and the utopian belief that we were beyond the reach of the world’s problems. The resulting fear that pervaded American society, spread like wildfire and led to an emotional and irrational chapter in American politics that would ignore Japanese citizens’ constitutional rights to appease the hysteria. Americans’ response to the attacks on Pearl Harbor revealed decades of existing prejudices as they turned their anger on their fellow American citizens who were of Japanese descent. Shortly after the Pearl Harbor attacks, on February 19, 1942,

    Because the bombing was done by Japan, harassment began to grow among the nation against Japanese-Americans. On February 9th, 1942, Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, under which -- “without due process of law” -- anyone with a Japanese heritage, citizen or not, was to be forced out of their homes and sent away to a “relocation” facility. These were located throughout the west. One group of Japanese-Americans that were in the internment camps were the Issei.

    I do not think that Roosevelt 's actions were justified in the internment of Japanese-American citizens, because there was very little evidence that the Japanese citizens were a threat to the rest of America. The Executive Order 9066 led to a lot of changes for Japanese-American citizens. The Executive Order 9066 was signed by President Roosevelt two weeks after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and this authorized the removal of any or all people from military areas "as deemed necessary or desirable." This affected the Japanese-American citizens because the military then defined the entire West Coast, which was home to the majority of Japanese-Americans, as a military area. This then led them to relocate to internment camps, built by the U.S military in scattered locations around the country.
