The Internment of Japanese- Americans during World War II is the relocation of Japanese-American into camps after the attack on Pearl Harbor also known as War Relocation Camps. About 120,000 Japanese- Americans citizens were relocated by the U.S. in 1942. This internment took place for about four years and later it was cancelled by the President and by the government. In January 1946, the relocation camps were closed which was after the five months of World War II. Japanese -American internment violates

The internment of the Japanese was unjustified because The Germans and Italians were not sent to the internment camps as well, most of the Japanese people didn’t have a job that would allow them to sabotage the United States and the decision was not based on military conditions like it was said to. One reason that the internment of the Japanese people was unjustified because the Germans and Italians in the country were not sent to internment camps as well(Munson 3)

the same time, Lincoln did not comply with Chief Justice Taney's ruling and proceeded to wage war on the Confederacy until congress could convene and formally and legally debate and vote on the issue. Taney filed his Merryman decision with the United States Circuit Court for the District of Maryland, but it is unclear if Taney's decision was a circuit court decision.

Since Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, the criminal justice system of the United States has moved past racial discrimination greatly. With the election of President Obama in 2008, it would be easier to say that discrimination no longer exists in the criminal justice system.

Japanese-American Internment was the relocation of many Japanese-American and Japanese descendents into camps known as “War Relocation Camps” during World War II (specifically after the attack on Pearl Harbor). In 1942, the United States government relocated and interned approximately 120,000 Japanese-American citizens and people of Japanese descent into relocation camps. This internment lasted for about four years, and was backed by the government as well as the president. The last relocation camp
