Detailed explanation-1: -In 1988, President Reagan signed the Civil Liberties Act to compensate more than 100, 000 people of Japanese descent who were incarcerated in internment camps during World War II. The legislation offered a formal apology and paid out $20, 000 in compensation to each surviving victim.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many Americans worried that citizens of Japanese ancestry would act as spies or saboteurs for the Japanese government. Fear-not evidence-drove the U.S. to place over 127, 000 Japanese-Americans in concentration camps for the duration of WWII. Over 127, 000 United States citizens were imprisoned during World War II.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Office of Redress Administration (ORA) was established in 1988 and was charged with administering a ten-year program to provide a tax-free restitution payment of $20, 000 to eligible individuals of Japanese ancestry for the fundamental injustices of the evacuation, relocation, and internment during World War II.
Detailed explanation-4: -904, 50a U.S.C. § 1989b et seq.) is a United States federal law that granted reparations to Japanese Americans who had been wrongly interned by the United States government during World War II and to “discourage the occurrence of similar injustices and violations of civil liberties in the future".
Detailed explanation-5: -This law gave surviving Japanese Americans $20, 000 in reparations and a formal apology by President Reagan for their incarceration during World War II. But its passage did not happen overnight. It took years to turn the redress movement into legislation.
