TheFRED KOREMATSU vs. UNITED STATES. What is it about? ​

 

After Pearl Harbor was under attack on December 7, 1941 by Imperial Japan, it was evident that the United States was entering World War II. Shortly after on February 19, 1942, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave military authority the power to relocate and detain all inhabitants with Japanese Ancestry and relocate them to internment camps. Amongst all those who went, one man named Fred Korematsu stood his ground and tried many ways to change his overall appearance to be less of a person of Japanese descent. Despite all that, he was later arrested by military police and put in a detainee facility for 2 months before being bailed out by a member of the ACLU (American Civil Liberty Union) named Ernest Besig. Upon release, he immediately sued back, showing that he was a loyal Japanese American. The conflict would soon tense up and eventually brought to the Supreme Court because Korematsu's argument was that it was a violation of the Fifth Amendment. This would go down in history as a well known Supreme Court Case involving the incarceration of a person from a different ethnic background.
