Most Japanese were in the camps for 3 years. Following Executive Order 9066 (February 19, 1942), the first Relocation Centers were staffed in March, 1942. Following the US Supreme Court ruling in January, 1945, most internees were released between April and November, 1945. Some were held for various reasons (including criminal offenses) into 1946, and the \"segregation\" camp at Tule Lake closed in March of that year.

Japanese Americans were held in internment camps during World War II due to widespread fears and suspicions following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The U.S. government, driven by racial prejudice and national security concerns, viewed Japanese Americans as potential spies or saboteurs despite the lack of evidence. This led to the forced relocation and incarceration of around 120,000 individuals, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens, in camps across the country. The internment is now recognized as a grave injustice and violation of civil rights.
