False.
During World War II, the internment of Japanese Americans was carried out by the United States government, specifically by an executive order issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The policy resulted in the forced relocation and incarceration of around 120,000 people of Japanese descent, most of whom were American citizens.
In the aftermath of the war, several legal challenges were made contesting the constitutionality of the internment. One significant case was Korematsu v. United States (1944), in which the Supreme Court ruled that the internment was constitutional under the circumstances of war. Unfortunately, the decision was widely criticized over the years for its endorsement of racial discrimination and violation of civil liberties.
It was not until decades later, in 1988, that the U.S. government formally apologized for the internment and authorized reparations to surviving Japanese American internees. Additionally, in 2011, the U.S. Senate passed a resolution acknowledging the injustice of the internment and apologizing for it. However, there has been no Supreme Court decision declaring the internment unconstitutional before the end of the war.
