President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II due to fears of espionage and sabotage following the attack on Pearl Harbor. This decision was influenced by widespread racial prejudice and wartime hysteria, leading to the belief that Japanese Americans posed a security threat. Ultimately, around 120,000 individuals were forcibly relocated to internment camps, despite the lack of evidence supporting these fears.

Did president Eisenhower authorize the Japanese internment?
No. Ike was not president when the Japanese-Americans were interned: Franklin Roosevelt was, and he did authorize it. He also authorized interning German-Americans and Italian-Americans - many in Montana, and many in Texas. I do not know why we do not hear about these interned citizens.
