In February of 1942, in the midst of the Second World War, Franklin Delano Roosevelt issued an executive order pertaining to the state of Japanese Americans living in the country. He began by saying that, during a wartime, a country must take certain necessary measures to ensure the safety of those living within as to ensure that there will neither be attacks from outside or from the inside. He then said that he invested the power to the Secretary of War to create military areas where he can admit, keep, and allow to exit anyone on his command, based on the needs of the country. However, he also needs to accomodate for transportation, food, and other needs that the people of the are may need. FDR also allowed the Secretary of War to do anything he deemed necessary to run and protect these areas, and told the other governmental areas that they were required to help him.
