1. The U.S. government enacted Executive Order 9066 in February 1942, which authorized the forced relocation and internment of over 120,000 Japanese Americans living on the West Coast. These individuals were deemed a security risk and were placed in internment camps for the duration of World War II.

2. Japanese Americans were subjected to widespread discrimination and loss of property during their internment. They were forced to leave behind their homes, businesses, and possessions, and many faced financial ruin as a result of being interned.

3. Despite the lack of evidence of any wrongdoing or disloyalty among Japanese Americans, the government continued to uphold the internment policy until 1945. It was not until decades later that the U.S. government formally apologized for the actions taken against Japanese Americans during World War II and provided reparations to survivors and their descendants.
