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. The internment remains a controversial chapter in U.S. history, underscoring issues of civil liberties and racial discrimination.
Omg based god !
It allowed areas to be cleared as military zones and also the deportation of Japanese Americans
Executive Order 9066, signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, authorized the forced relocation and internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. It allowed military commanders to designate "military areas" from which individuals could be excluded, leading to the internment of around 120,000 Japanese Americans, most of whom were U.S. citizens. This action was justified by the government as a national security measure, but it has since been widely criticized as a violation of civil liberties.
During World War II, the official position of the U.S. government was that the internment of Japanese Americans was a necessary measure for national security. In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which led to the forced relocation and internment of around 120,000 Japanese Americans, most of whom were U.S. citizens. The government justified this action on the basis of wartime fears of espionage and sabotage, despite a lack of evidence to support such claims. This policy has since been widely criticized and recognized as a violation of civil liberties.

We were at war with Japan and thought that they may be spying on the US.The Japanese Americans were sent to the relocation camps because the Americans suspected that there were spies in that particular group.
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.
in fear of spies.
