AI notes: On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, authorizing the U.S. military to designate military zones and exclude individuals from these areas. Though the order did not specify a group, it led to the forced relocation and internment of over 120,000 Japanese Americans—most of them U.S. citizens—into camps during World War II. The decision, driven by wartime hysteria and racial prejudice following the Pearl Harbor attack, caused immense personal and economic loss. In 1988, the U.S. government formally apologized through the Civil Liberties Act, acknowledging the injustice and providing reparations to survivors.
