The U.S. government interfered with Japanese Americans during World War II primarily due to fears of espionage and sabotage following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. This led to the implementation of Executive Order 9066, which resulted in the forced relocation and internment of around 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens. The decision was driven by racial prejudice, wartime hysteria, and a lack of political will to protect the rights of these individuals, despite the absence of evidence supporting the claims of disloyalty. This action has since been widely condemned as a violation of civil liberties.

During World War II, the U.S. government forcibly relocated and incarcerated approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans living on the West Coast in internment camps. This action was driven by wartime hysteria and unfounded fears of espionage and sabotage following Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. Many Japanese Americans lost their homes, businesses, and personal belongings during this period, which lasted from 1942 to 1945. In 1988, the U.S. government formally acknowledged this injustice and issued reparations to surviving internees.
