The U.S. government was able to legally move Japanese Americans into internment camps through the issuance of Executive Order 9066 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in February 1942. This order authorized military commanders to designate "military areas" from which any person could be excluded, primarily targeting Japanese Americans on the West Coast, justified by national security concerns during World War II. Subsequent court rulings, such as Korematsu v. United States, upheld the government's actions, deeming them a wartime necessity despite later acknowledgment of their unjust nature.
