LAD #35: FDR's Executive Order #9066

Executive Order #9066 essentially issued the interment of any person of Japanese descent. Although the order itself does not mention anything about the Japanese explicitly, the document makes it clear that the military can create zones of interment where they see fit. During this time period, this meant the Japanese in order to protect "against espionage and against sabotage to national-defense material."
