Korematsu vs. US
Lawsuit brought by Fred T. Korematsu, a Nisei (an American-born person whose parents were born in Japan) to the Supreme Court.
Korematsu had been arrested by the FBI for failing to report for relocation and was convicted in federal court in September 1942.
The U.S. Supreme Court, in a divided decision, upheld Korematsu's conviction in late 1944. The majority opinion, written by Justice Hugo Black,upheld the government's right to relocate citizens in the face of wartime emergency.
