Detailed explanation-1: -The attack on Pearl Harbor also launched a rash of fear about national security, especially on the West Coast. In February 1942, just two months later, President Roosevelt, as commander-in-chief, issued Executive Order 9066 that resulted in the internment of Japanese Americans.
Detailed explanation-2: -So it would be correct to say that “about 110, 000 Japanese Americans were forcibly removed from the West Coast” and that “about 120, 000 Japanese Americans were held in American concentration camps administered by the War Relocation Authority during World War II.”
Detailed explanation-3: -Korematsu was born in Oakland, Calif., but his U.S. citizenship didn’t keep him from being arrested for refusing to be relocated to an internment camp in 1942. He challenged his arrest in court, and two years later the case made its way to the Supreme Court.
