It gets worse when this was decided the same year:
"Ex parte Endo, or
Ex parte Mitsuye Endo, 323 U.S. 283 (1944),
[1] was a
United States Supreme Court ex parte decision handed down on December 18, 1944, in which the Justices unanimously ruled that the U.S. government could not continue to detain a citizen who was "concededly loyal" to the United States. Although the Court did not touch on the constitutionality of the
exclusion of people of Japanese ancestry from the
West Coast—which they had found not to violate citizen rights in their
Korematsu v. United States decision on the same date—the Endo ruling nonetheless led to the reopening of the West Coast to
Japanese Americans after their incarceration in camps across the U.S. interior during
World War II."
Since there was ZERO evidence as pointed out in TWO reports, one requested by President Roosevelt himself, that Japanese Americans were NOT a threat to security of the nation.
"Japanese Americans and other Asians in the U.S. had suffered for decades from prejudice and
racially-motivated fear. Laws preventing Asian Americans from
owning land, voting,
testifying against whites in court, and other racially discriminatory laws existed long before World War II. Additionally, the
FBI,
Office of Naval Intelligence and
Military Intelligence Division had been conducting surveillance on Japanese American communities in Hawaii and the U.S. mainland from the early 1930s.
[5] In early 1941, President Roosevelt secretly commissioned a study to assess the possibility that Japanese Americans would pose a threat to U.S. security. The report, submitted exactly one month before Pearl Harbor was bombed, found that, "There will be no armed uprising of Japanese" in the United States. "For the most part," the
Munson Report said, "the local Japanese are loyal to the United States or, at worst, hope that by remaining quiet they can avoid concentration camps or irresponsible mobs."
[4] A second investigation started in 1940, written by Naval Intelligence officer Kenneth Ringle and submitted in January 1942, likewise found no evidence of
fifth column activity and urged against mass incarceration.
[6] Both were ignored."
Over two-thirds of the people of Japanese ethnicity were incarcerated—almost 70,000—were American citizens. Many of the rest had lived in the country between 20 and 40 years. Most Japanese Americans, particularly the first generation born in the United States (the
nisei), considered themselves loyal to the United States of America. No Japanese American citizen or Japanese national residing in the United States was ever found guilty of sabotage or espionage.
[4]
It goes on to show that the Roosevelt administration quickly realized they had no legal justification to keep the camps in place:
"The unanimous opinion ruling in Endo's favor was written by Justice
William O. Douglas, with Justices
Frank Murphy and
Owen Roberts concurring. It stopped short of addressing the question of the government's right to exclude citizens based on military necessity, instead focusing on the actions of the WRA: "In reaching that conclusion [that Endo should be freed] we do not come to the underlying constitutional issues which have been argued. ... [W]e conclude that, whatever power the War Relocation Authority may have to detain other classes of citizens, it has no authority to subject citizens who are concededly loyal to its leave procedure."
[1]
Because of this avoidance, it is very difficult to reconcile
Endo with
Korematsu, which was decided the same day. As Justice Roberts pointed out in his
Korematsu dissent, distinguishing the cases required a reliance on the legal fiction that
Korematsu only dealt with the exclusion of Japanese Americans, not their detention—that
Fred Korematsu could have gone anywhere else in the United States, when in reality he would have been subject to the detainment found illegal in
Endo.
[4] In short, while
Endo determined that a citizen could not be imprisoned if the government was unable to prove she was disloyal,
Korematsu allowed the government a loophole to criminally punish that citizen for refusing to be illegally imprisoned.
[5]
The
Roosevelt administration, having been alerted to the Court's decision, issued Public Proclamation No. 21 the day before the
Endo and
Korematsu rulings were made public, on December 17, 1944, rescinding the exclusion orders and declaring that Japanese Americans could begin returning to the West Coast in January 1945.

You are too stupid to realize you have jack shit. Your red herring claims are STUPID as hell.
Sop defending the proven terrible SCOTUS decision and that lawless Executive Order 9066!
