Interred Japanese ... Your slip is showing, but it is hardly a question of the right to intern the Japanese citizens -- any country may legally intern citizens of an enemy country under international law, but it is clearly against the provisions of habeas corpus suspensions in the Constitution of the 5th Amendment (life, liberty or property ...). Interning American citizens of Japanese ancestry is illegal -- period. Roosevelt issued an illegal order at the Army's request, Congress tolerated it, and the Supreme Court upheld it. Martial law was illegally imposed in Hawaii. A few hundred Japanese were interned, but every one was subject to military law, could not change jobs, could not travel freely, and was court-martialled if he was absent from work in an "essential job." Of course many rich people (nearly all white) were permitted to flee the islands.
