This was a case determining the constitutionality of putting Japanese Americans into "relocation" camps or internment camps. The Supreme Court decided that internment camps were constitutional because of military urgency, and that protection from espionage far outweighed Korematsu's (and thus all Japanese American's) individual rights.

This was a case determining the constitutionality of putting Japanese Americans into "relocation" camps or internment camps. The Supreme Court decided that internment camps were constitutional because of military urgency, and that protection from espionage far outweighed Korematsu's (and thus all Japanese American's) individual rights.
The War Relocation Authority was created to intern Japanese Americans. It was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1944 in the case Korematsu v. US
It is Korematsu v US and was a landmark Supreme Court decision allowing the USA government to place Japanese Americans in internment camps during WWII.
The U.S. military's argued that the loyalties of some Japanese Americans resided not with the United States but with their ancestral country, and that because separating "the disloyal from the loyal" was a logistical impossibility, the internment order had to apply to all Japanese Americans within the restricted area. The Supreme Court Accepted the military's argument over the argument of Korematsu.
Similar to the Red Scare in WWI, many Americans feared Japanese Americans were a threat to American safety. 110,000 Japanese-Americans were forced into these camps because the US feared that they might act as saboteurs for Japan in case of invasion. The camps deprived the Japanese-Americans of basic rights, and the internees lost hundreds of millions of dollars in property. In the Supreme Court ruling in Korematsu v. U.S. (1944), the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the concentration camps.
The Supreme Court decided that with the West Coast vulnerable to attack by Japan, the president was within his rights to declare the people of Japanese ancestry might pose a threat to internal security; thus the relocation order was upheld. Even though: No Japanese American was ever found guilty of espionage or sabotage.
