BACKGROUND AND NEED
On February 19, 1942, during World War II, President Roosevelt
issued Executive Order 9066, authorizing the Secretary of War to
prescribe certain areas as military zones from which any or all
persons may be excluded. On March 9, 1942, President Roosevelt
issued Executive Order 9102, providing for the removal of persons
from the exclusion zones. Two days later, Congress passed legisla-
tion ratifying and confirming Executive Order 9066 and providing
for its enforcement. The law made violations of military orders a
misdemeanor punishable by up to $5,000 in fines and up to one
year in prison. As a result of military exclusion orders issued pur-
suant to Executive Order 9066, approximately 120,000 men,
women, and children of Japanese ancestry were evicted from the
West Coast of the United States and held in internment camps
across the country.
