During the Second World War, after the Japanese had attacked the United States: The American government was not sure if it could trust Japanese-Americans to be loyal to America, instead of Japan. Secret Japanese messages that American intelligence agencies secretly intercepted & decoded referred to valuable un-named Japanese agents living within the Japanese-American community (included resident-aliens & US citizens). At the time, many Japanese-Americans were unwilling to swear allegiance to the United States. The US government had great difficulty determining which Japanese-Americans could be trusted.
