  1. Executive Order 9066 The internment of Japanese Americans in the wake of assaults on US interests by the Empire of Japan during WWII.

  2. Korematsu v. US • "Did the President and Congress go beyond their war powers by implementing exclusion and restricting the rights of Americans of Japanese descent?" • Justice Black argued that race-based compulsory exclusion, though constitutionally suspect, was justified by the government's assertion of wartime necessity.

  3. Hirabayashi v. US • Hirabayashi v. United States, 320 U.S. 81 (1943)[1], was a case in which the United States Supreme Court held that the application of curfews against members of a minority group were constitutional when the nation was at war with the country from which that group originated.

  4. Reparations • The Civil Liberties Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 100-383, title I, Aug. 10, 1988, 102 Stat. 904, 50 App. U.S.C. 1989b et seq.) granted reparations to Japanese-Americans who had been interned by the United States government during World War II. Each internee was granted about US$20,000 in compensation.
