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.
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 decision upheld the legality of the wartime internment policy

Korematsu v. United States
Korematsu v. United States, 323 US 214 (1944)Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone (1941-1946) presided over the Court for the Korematsu case, a challenge to the constitutionality of Executive Order 9066 that established Japanese Internment Camps during World War II.
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.
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.
