How did the Supreme Court view the relocation camps of Japanese Americans during World War 2?

The Supreme Court decided that with the West Coast vulnerable to attack by Japan, the president was within his rights to declare the people of Japanese ancestry might pose a threat to internal security; thus the relocation order was upheld. Even though: No Japanese American was ever found guilty of espionage or sabotage.


What were some effects that caused the Japanese internment?

The Japanese internment during World War II was primarily driven by wartime hysteria and racial prejudice following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The U.S. government, fueled by fears of espionage and sabotage, enacted policies that led to the forced relocation and incarceration of around 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens. Economic factors, such as competition for jobs and property, also played a role, as did the media's portrayal of Japanese Americans as a threat. The internment resulted in significant loss of property, disruption of lives, and long-lasting psychological impacts on the affected families and communities.
