Executive Order 9102, signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 18, 1942, established the War Relocation Authority (WRA). This agency was responsible for the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The order led to the forced relocation and incarceration of approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens, in internment camps across the country. This action has since been widely criticized as a grave violation of civil rights.

I think you are referring to the WWII Japanese internment camps. After Pearl Harbor, it was thought that Japanese-American citizens could not be trusted, so they were rounded up and forced to live at various "camps" around the U.S. until the war was over. See the Related Links below.
During World War II, Japanese Americans were treated extremely unfairly. Specifically, President Roosevelt signed an executive order which called for all Japanese Americans in the US to be rounded up and moved into camps.
During World War II & the war with Japan, many Japanese-Americans were put into Internment Camps. This was a huge human rights violation. Once the war was over, the president of the United States of America publicly apologized for this violation.
Executive Order 9066 .
During World War II, Japanese citizens in the United States were treated differently due to widespread fear and prejudice following the attack on Pearl Harbor. This led to the belief that Japanese Americans could be potential spies or saboteurs, resulting in Executive Order 9066, which authorized the internment of around 120,000 Japanese Americans in camps. This action was rooted in racial discrimination and wartime hysteria, contrasting with how other ethnic groups, including German and Italian Americans, were treated. Ultimately, this unjust treatment has been recognized as a significant violation of civil rights in American history.
Executive Order 9066, signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, authorized the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. This order allowed the military to designate certain areas as exclusion zones, leading to the forced relocation and incarceration of around 120,000 Japanese Americans, most of whom were U.S. citizens. The decision was driven by wartime fears and racial prejudice, and it has since been widely condemned as a violation of civil liberties.

The Executive Order 9066 which was issued by a United States presidential executive order which was signed and issued during World War II by the United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, authorizing the Secretary of War to prescribe certain areas as military zones. Eventually, EO 9066 cleared the way for the deportation of Japanese Americans, Italian Americans, and German Americans to internment camps. The executive order was spurred by a combination of war hysteria and reactions to the Niihau Incident. (Edited from several sources )
Korematsu v. United States was a landmark Supreme Court case in 1944 that upheld the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. The Court ruled that the need to protect against espionage outweighed the individual rights of Japanese Americans, even though the decision has been widely criticized as a violation of civil liberties and racial discrimination. It was later officially overturned in 2018 by the Supreme Court in the case of Trump v. Hawaii.
