The U.S. government justified Japanese internment during World War II primarily by citing national security concerns. Officials argued that individuals of Japanese descent, particularly on the West Coast, posed a potential risk of espionage or sabotage following the attack on Pearl Harbor. This rationale led to the forced relocation and incarceration of around 120,000 Japanese Americans, despite a lack of concrete evidence supporting claims of disloyalty. The internment is now widely recognized as a violation of civil rights.

What aguments did Walter Lippmann and certain justices of the Supreme Court use to justify the internment policy?
Walter Lippmann and certain Supreme Court justices justified the internment policy during World War II by arguing that it was a necessary wartime measure to protect national security. They claimed that the internment of Japanese Americans was essential to prevent espionage and sabotage, given the context of the war and fears regarding loyalty. Lippmann, in particular, emphasized the need for the government to act decisively in the face of perceived threats, while the justices often deferred to the executive branch's judgment in matters of national security. This rationale ultimately prioritized security over individual rights, leading to significant civil liberties violations.

Identify two different words or phrases you would use to describe the internment of Japanese-American citizens during World War 2 and explain why you think those are accurate descriptions?
Deplorable and unconstitutional. The Japanese Americans were not spies nor were they the enemy of the Americans. They were not even allowed to be citizens. The only ones that were citizens were the ones born in the US. The leaders of the government overreacted. They wanted to intern the Germans and Italians but prominent people stopped them. No one spoke up for the Japanese however. The Supreme Court declared the internment unconstitutional and I totally agree. The leaders left them in the internment camps long after the war was over. Those wonderful people lost their homes and their possessions and the respect of the American people. They had nothing to do with the Japanese of Japan. The internment places were ramshackle, filthy, cold places with no furniture or adequate bathrooms. They suffered for years all due to the arrogant, racist American leaders and the general populous who did not rise up to stop the madness.
