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.
removal to internment camps
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.
Fred Korematsu
The United States won, as Fred Korematsu was not granted his appeal and was sent to an internment camp, and none of the Japanese-American's cases were looked into. This fool has no idea what he is talking about... he was not even close to knowing what really happened with Fred Korematsu. Korematsu won this as some would say "battle" against the United States. Fred Korematsu did not have to go to the internment camp.
The decision upheld the legality of the wartime internment policy
After the attacks on Pearl Harbor, many white Americans began to distrust Japanese Americans and their patriotic loyalties. Also, the Japanese Navy's location was unknown at the time, and thus many believed that a Japanese attack on the west coast could have occurred at any time. Many white Americans believed that Japanese Americans could provide intelligence for the Imperial Japanese forces, and that if the Japanese Navy were to attack the west coast, Japanese Americans would join the invaders and help fight against the United States. Many white Americans believed that the internment was justified, and the US Supreme Court agreed. In Korematsu v. United States, the Supreme Court ok'd the internment of Japanese Americans, citing public safety and protection against espionage to be a valid reason for internment and the taking of civil rights and liberties from Japanese Americans.
Korematsu v. United States
The decision upheld the legality of the wartime internment policy
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.
Korematsu v United States (1944) remains a profound case and precedent in the study of civil liberties and American Constitutional law. The chief significance was the Courts majority opinion that national security (against espionage) was a compelling interest enough that the use of internment was/is justified.
