The US Military was worried that Japanese agents would be involved in spying or sabotage on the Pacific coast. At the time, some suspected that Japan might mount an attack on the US mainland.
President Roosevelt was convinced to sign an executive order to exclude those of Japanese ancestry from the militarily important areas, and they were relocated to guarded camps, mostly in remote desert areas. More than 110,000 people had to leave their homes and live in crowded and inhospitable conditions. This internment lasted from early 1942 until 1945, when the US Supreme Court ruled that the summary detention of Japanese-American citizens was illegal.
