In the 1944 case of Korematsu v. United States, the Supreme Court upheld the government's decision to intern Japanese Americans during World War II, ruling that the need to protect against espionage outweighed individual rights. The Court found the internment to be a wartime necessity, despite acknowledging the racial discrimination involved. This decision has been widely criticized over the years for its endorsement of racial prejudice and has been viewed as a significant failure of the Court in protecting civil liberties. It was later formally disavowed by the Court in subsequent cases.
