Fred Korematsu
Fred Toyosaburo Korematsu (是松 豊三郎, Korematsu Toyosaburō, January 30, 1919 – March 30, 2005) was one of the many Japanese-American citizens living on the West Coast of the United States at the onset of World War II. Shortly after the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, authorizing the Secretary of War and his military commanders to remove all individuals of Japanese ancestry from designated "military areas" and place them in internment camps in what is known as the Japanese American internment. When such orders were issued for the West Coast, Korematsu instead became a fugitive. The legality of the internment order was upheld by the United States Supreme Court in Korematsu v. United States, but Korematsu's conviction was overturned decades later after the disclosure of new evidence challenging the necessity of the internment, evidence which had been withheld from the courts by the U.S. government during the war.

Karen Korematsu: “My Father Resisted Japanese Internment. Trump’s Travel Ban is Just as Unfair”
https://democracynow.org - The U.S. Supreme Court looks poised to uphold President Trump’s travel ban, which blocks most people from seven countries—including Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen—from entering the United States. During oral arguments on Wednesday, Justice Anthony Kennedy appeared to side with the conservative side of the court. Lower courts have repeatedly ruled against versions of Trump’s travel ban, saying they were unconstitutional and in violation of federal immigration law. Among those who have asked the Supreme Court to rule the travel ban unconstitutional are the children of Japanese Americans who were interned during World War II. Joining us now is one of those children: Karen Korematsu, daughter of civil rights icon Fred Korematsu who was jailed for refusing ord...

Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
December 7, 1941
Japan drops bombs on an American naval base, killing more than 2400 Americans, and injuring 1000 more. In response, the United States declares war on Japan, officially entering World War II. Increasingly, Americans viewed anyone of Japanese heritage suspiciously. Japanese Americans had already faced racism and discrimination in the country for nearly 100 years. After the Pearl Harbor attack, that racism and discrimination went to the next freaking level, as many thought Japanese Americans might be more loyal to Japan than the United States, sharing military secrets with them and stuff or trying to sabotage the war effort. Despite there being no evidence whatsoever that this was happening, Japanese American persecution increased. People bought Jap-hunting licenses. Life Magazine published an article illustrating how to tell the difference between a Japanese person and Chinese person by the shape their nose and height.
In California, the racism and paranoia seemed to be worse. A barber shop there advertised “free shaves for Japs” with a disclaimer that read “not responsible for accidents.” A funeral parlor advertised “I’d rather do business with a Jap than an American.” Several people called for removing all Japanese Americans from western states and forcing them to live in concentration camps somewhere else. President Franklin Roosevelt, who had a record of being racist against the Japanese, agreed with this idea. He signed Executive Order 9066. It ordered the roundup of 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent to 1 of 10 concentration camps, called officially “relocation centers.” It also said Japanese Americans weren’t allowed to be in California at all, as well as much of Oregon, Washington, and Arizona, unless they were in one of the camps, of course.
Fred Korematsu was one of the Japanese Americans who said the heck with Executive Order 9066. He stayed in California. He had a girlfriend who was not Japanese American there he didn’t want to leave, and just thought Roosevelt’s order was wrong. So after his entire family left for one of the camps, he stayed behind, became a welder, and tried not to stand out too much. He changed his name and got a fake ID. Later, he even tried to have plastic surgery on his eyes to look less Japanese. The plastic surgeon who worked on him didn’t do the procedure but took his money anyway. Shortly after this, someone reported him and he was arrested. After his arrest, he never saw his girlfriend again, by the way. Eventually, Korematsu found himself in federal prison. The American Civil Liberties Union, or ACLU, reached out to him there and offered to represent him in court.
Korematsu said heck yeah. Together, they argued that Executive Order 9066 went against the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. In court, Korematsu’s loyalty to the United States was never in question. Still, in federal court in San Francisco, he was convicted, given five years of probation, and sent to a concentration camp in Utah.
He appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals, who agreed with the lower court. He then appealed again, and the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, hearing arguments in October 1944, with the war still raging on. During arguments, the Court considered a similar case from the previous year called Hirabayashi v. United States. That one upheld Executive Order 9066.

Korematsu v. United States | 323 U.S. 214 (1944)
Throughout American history, the Supreme Court has issued its share of controversial decisions. Few opinions, however, have been as infamous as the 1944 case Korematsu versus United States.
In the wake of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt issued an executive order. The order authorized the military to establish special military areas and limit the right of any person to leave, enter, or remain in these areas.
The military used this authority to issue two orders. First, the orders excluded persons of Japanese descent from the West Coast. Second, the orders commanded Japanese persons in the designated areas to report to “assembly centers,” a euphemism for internment camps.
Fred Korematsu was a Japanese American citizen who refused to report to an assembly center or leave the military area. He was convicted in a federal district court for violating the military order.
Korematsu appealed his conviction, arguing that the exclusion of Japanese Americans constituted a race-based classification and violated the Equal Protection Clause. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction.

Korematsu v. United States | 584 F. Supp. 1406 (1984)
Fred Korematsu was best known as the Japanese American who unsuccessfully challenged the constitutionality of the internment of Japanese Americans during World War Two. Forty years after the United States Supreme Court decided his case, another court revisited the U S government’s treatment of Korematsu in Korematsu versus United States.
In nineteen forty-one, the U S declared war on Japan. The president issued Executive Order Ninety Sixty-Six, which gave the Secretary of War the power to designate military zones and keep people out of those areas. Congress made it a crime to ignore an order to leave a military zone. A portion of the west coast was designated Military Area Number One . Then, an order excluded those of Japanese ancestry from living there unless they were in assembly centers.
Fred Korematsu’s ancestors were Japanese. He lived in zone one but didn’t report to an assembly center. Korematsu was convicted of breaking federal law, which was upheld on appeal .
Decades after the internment of Japanese Americans ended, Congress created the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians. The commission’s report stated that there wasn’t a military necessity for the internment. According to the report, the internment was an unjust product of racial prejudice, war hysteria, and leadership failures.
Korematsu filed a petition for a writ of coram nobis to vacate his conviction, arguing that the conviction resulted from the government’s misconduct. In support, Korematsu cited the report and government memorandums showing the government withheld evidence that internment wasn’t necessary from the courts. The U S responded. Though the government didn’t admit to wrongdoing or specifically oppose the petition, it moved the court to vacate Korematsu’s conviction and dismiss the indictment. The judge decided Korematsu’s petition and the government’s motion to vacate.

Korematsu filed a petition for a writ of coram nobis to vacate his conviction, arguing that the conviction resulted from the government’s misconduct. In support, Korematsu cited the report and government memorandums showing the government withheld evidence that internment wasn’t necessary from the courts. The U S responded. Though the government didn’t admit to wrongdoing or specifically oppose the petition, it moved the court to vacate Korematsu’s conviction and dismiss the indictment. The judge decided Korematsu’s petition and the government’s motion to vacate.

https://democracynow.org - The U.S. Supreme Court looks poised to uphold President Trump’s travel ban, which blocks most people from seven countries—including Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen—from entering the United States. During oral arguments on Wednesday, Justice Anthony Kennedy appeared to side with the conservative side of the court. Lower courts have repeatedly ruled against versions of Trump’s travel ban, saying they were unconstitutional and in violation of federal immigration law. Among those who have asked the Supreme Court to rule the travel ban unconstitutional are the children of Japanese Americans who were interned during World War II.
Joining us now is one of those children: Karen Korematsu, daughter of civil rights icon Fred Korematsu who was jailed for refusing orders to be sent to an internment camp set up for U.S. residents of Japanese ancestry. His case went all the way to the Supreme Court. Last year Karen Korematsu wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post headlined “My father resisted Japanese internment. Trump’s travel ban is just as unfair.” For more we speak with Karen Korematsu, founder and executive director of the Fred T. Korematsu Institute.

Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
December 7, 1941
Japan drops bombs on an American naval base, killing more than 2400 Americans, and injuring 1000 more. In response, the United States declares war on Japan, officially entering World War II. Increasingly, Americans viewed anyone of Japanese heritage suspiciously. Japanese Americans had already faced racism and discrimination in the country for nearly 100 years. After the Pearl Harbor attack, that racism and discrimination went to the next freaking level, as many thought Japanese Americans might be more loyal to Japan than the United States, sharing military secrets with them and stuff or trying to sabotage the war effort. Despite there being no evidence whatsoever that this was happening, Japanese American persecution increased. People bought Jap-hunting licenses. Life Magazine published an article illustrating how to tell the difference between a Japanese person and Chinese person by the shape their nose and height.
In California, the racism and paranoia seemed to be worse. A barber shop there advertised “free shaves for Japs” with a disclaimer that read “not responsible for accidents.” A funeral parlor advertised “I’d rather do business with a Jap than an American.” Several people called for removing all Japanese Americans from western states and forcing them to live in concentration camps somewhere else. President Franklin Roosevelt, who had a record of being racist against the Japanese, agreed with this idea. He signed Executive Order 9066. It ordered the roundup of 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent to 1 of 10 concentration camps, called officially “relocation centers.” It also said Japanese Americans weren’t allowed to be in California at all, as well as much of Oregon, Washington, and Arizona, unless they were in one of the camps, of course.
Fred Korematsu was one of the Japanese Americans who said the heck with Executive Order 9066. He stayed in California. He had a girlfriend who was not Japanese American there he didn’t want to leave, and just thought Roosevelt’s order was wrong. So after his entire family left for one of the camps, he stayed behind, became a welder, and tried not to stand out too much. He changed his name and got a fake ID. Later, he even tried to have plastic surgery on his eyes to look less Japanese. The plastic surgeon who worked on him didn’t do the procedure but took his money anyway. Shortly after this, someone reported him and he was arrested. After his arrest, he never saw his girlfriend again, by the way. Eventually, Korematsu found himself in federal prison. The American Civil Liberties Union, or ACLU, reached out to him there and offered to represent him in court.
Korematsu said heck yeah. Together, they argued that Executive Order 9066 went against the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. In court, Korematsu’s loyalty to the United States was never in question. Still, in federal court in San Francisco, he was convicted, given five years of probation, and sent to a concentration camp in Utah.
He appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals, who agreed with the lower court. He then appealed again, and the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, hearing arguments in October 1944, with the war still raging on. During arguments, the Court considered a similar case from the previous year called Hirabayashi v. United States. That one upheld Executive Order 9066.

Korematsu v. United States | 323 U.S. 214 (1944)
Throughout American history, the Supreme Court has issued its share of controversial decisions. Few opinions, however, have been as infamous as the 1944 case Korematsu versus United States.
In the wake of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt issued an executive order. The order authorized the military to establish special military areas and limit the right of any person to leave, enter, or remain in these areas.
The military used this authority to issue two orders. First, the orders excluded persons of Japanese descent from the West Coast. Second, the orders commanded Japanese persons in the designated areas to report to “assembly centers,” a euphemism for internment camps.
Fred Korematsu was a Japanese American citizen who refused to report to an assembly center or leave the military area. He was convicted in a federal district court for violating the military order.
Korematsu appealed his conviction, arguing that the exclusion of Japanese Americans constituted a race-based classification and violated the Equal Protection Clause. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction.

Korematsu v. United States | 584 F. Supp. 1406 (1984)
Fred Korematsu was best known as the Japanese American who unsuccessfully challenged the constitutionality of the internment of Japanese Americans during World War Two. Forty years after the United States Supreme Court decided his case, another court revisited the U S government’s treatment of Korematsu in Korematsu versus United States.
In nineteen forty-one, the U S declared war on Japan. The president issued Executive Order Ninety Sixty-Six, which gave the Secretary of War the power to designate military zones and keep people out of those areas. Congress made it a crime to ignore an order to leave a military zone. A portion of the west coast was designated Military Area Number One . Then, an order excluded those of Japanese ancestry from living there unless they were in assembly centers.
Fred Korematsu’s ancestors were Japanese. He lived in zone one but didn’t report to an assembly center. Korematsu was convicted of breaking federal law, which was upheld on appeal .
Decades after the internment of Japanese Americans ended, Congress created the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians. The commission’s report stated that there wasn’t a military necessity for the internment. According to the report, the internment was an unjust product of racial prejudice, war hysteria, and leadership failures.
Korematsu filed a petition for a writ of coram nobis to vacate his conviction, arguing that the conviction resulted from the government’s misconduct. In support, Korematsu cited the report and government memorandums showing the government withheld evidence that internment wasn’t necessary from the courts. The U S responded. Though the government didn’t admit to wrongdoing or specifically oppose the petition, it moved the court to vacate Korematsu’s conviction and dismiss the indictment. The judge decided Korematsu’s petition and the government’s motion to vacate.

Fred Korematsu
Fred Toyosaburo Korematsu (是松 豊三郎, Korematsu Toyosaburō, January 30, 1919 – March 30, 2005) was one of the many Japanese-American citizens living on the West Coast of the United States at the onset of World War II. Shortly after the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, authorizing the Secretary of War and his military commanders to remove all individuals of Japanese ancestry from designated "military areas" and place them in internment camps in what is known as the Japanese American internment. When such orders were issued for the West Coast, Korematsu instead became a fugitive. The legality of the internment order was upheld by the United States Supreme Court in Korematsu v. United States, but Korematsu's conviction was overturned decades later after the disclosure of new evidence challenging the necessity of the internment, evidence which had been withheld from the courts by the U.S. government during the war.
