During World War II, the internment of Japanese Americans violated their constitutional rights, particularly the Fifth Amendment's protection against deprivation of liberty without due process. The U.S. government forcibly relocated and confined approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens, in camps based on their ethnicity rather than any evidence of disloyalty. This action reflected racial prejudice and resulted in significant loss of property and personal freedom, undermining fundamental democratic principles.

What US policies violated the constitutional rights of citizens during World War 2?

The US policy to intern the Japanese Americans (Canadians did too) was unconstitutional. They did not release them even after the US Supreme Court determined it was unconstitutional for the US Government to set of the internment camps, take the Japanese Americans from their homes. They took their homes and businesses too and that was illegal. Some Japanese Americans have received paltry reparations for their illegal internment.
