President Franklin Delano Roosevelt authorized the internment with Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942, which allowed local military commanders to designate "military areas" as "exclusion zones," from which "any or all persons may be excluded." This power was used to declare that all people of Japanese ancestry were excluded from the entire Pacific coast, including all of California and most of Oregon and Washington, except for those in internment camps. In 1944, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the exclusion orders, while noting that the provisions that singled out people of Japanese ancestry were a separate issue outside the scope of the proceedings. The United States Census Bureau assisted the internment efforts by providing confidential neighborhood information on Japanese Americans. The Bureau's role was denied for decades but was finally proven in 2007.
Honestly, I don't think that is something that anyone, especially the US president, would need convincing on. I mean seriously, the guy killed 11 million people for no reason and tried to take over Europe.
When Ben Franklin's son was imprisoned for being a loyalist in America, Ben Franklin did nothing to help him even when his son asked to have a better cell. When William was released some years later, William tried to make amens with his father, but Ben still turned him down. Franklin died as a bad father.
He wasn't.
Franklin Roosevelt was well informed about what the Nazis were doing. He did not do anything specifically to end the Holocaust. Jan Karski, a member of the Polish resistance and a courier, had two lengthy face-to-face meetings with FDR at the time of the Holocaust. Karski described the conditions in the Warsaw Ghetto and told him about the extermination camps. He implored Roosevelt to do something about it, but according to Karski, Roosevelt merely kept on saying, 'Tell them that the guilty will be punished'. He did not respond to Karski's point that what was need was immediate help.
He did not do any bad things
Most would consider him good, but it's a matter of opinion. You need to decide for yourself.
He feared a march on Washington by African Americans would be bad for the war effort.

executive order 9066
he thought it was bad
It never did. It has a two-TERM limit, which was imposed by the Republicans after Franklin Delano Roosevelt died. He served four terms, and the Republicans wanted to make sure it never happened again. Before Roosevelt there was a "gentleman's agreement" that a president should only serve two terms. Roosevelt broke it because the country was at war and he felt it would be bad to change presidents during such a time of struggle.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt attempted to "pack" the Supreme Court in 1937, not 1930. His idea was to increase the number of justices, and appoint his own people to fill all of the new vacancies. While technically legal, most people thought it was bad form, and the idea was never implemented. And the advent of the European war in 1939 (which was obviously coming even in 1936) calmed down a lot of the political turmoil within the US as the '30s came to a close.
