Following the attack on Pearl harbor in December, 1941, the US declared war on Japan. The US Military, concerned about the possibility of spying or sabotage by those of Japanese ancestry, convinced the government to exclude them from militarily important zones on the US Pacific coast. Those of known or suspected Japanese heritage were removed from their homes and interned in desert camps for about 3 years. In many cases they were loyal US citizens descended from Japanese immigrants. However, it took many months for the US courts to consider their complaints, with the US Supreme Court only invalidating their detention in December, 1944.
