Executive Order 9066, issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in February 1942, primarily led to the internment of around 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. This order designated certain areas as military zones, allowing for the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, many of whom were U.S. citizens. The main effect was the violation of civil liberties and the unjust treatment of a specific ethnic group, which has since been recognized as a grave injustice and led to subsequent reparations and formal apologies from the U.S. government.
