Answer preview
During world war II, Americans had a prejudice against foreign nationals and citizens with foreign ancestral. The federal bureau of investigations suspiciously targeted many Japanese-Americans, charged them with disloyalty, detained some, and subjected them to hearings under the Alien Enemy Act (Clyde et al., 2019). Japanese-American who received orders of internment were forced into government camps secured by armed men and barbed wire. Japanese-Americans lost their homes, jobs, and businesses through the internment orders (Kamp-whittaker, 2020). President Roosevelt’s executive order 9066 militarized the operation forcing hundreds of thousands of Japanese-Americans into exclusion camps (Clyde et al., 2019). Later the exclusion orders were judged by various parties, including judicial and military senior officials, as severe injustice against people of Japanese ancestry. President Reagan later acknowledged the extreme injustice by signing a law that formally apologized for the discriminative transgressions.
