| | Japanese American internment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Japanese Americans in Hawaii were not subject to the strict internment policy, despite the fact that they were closer to essential military facilities than most of the Japanese Americans in the western states. | | | Japanese people from various parts of Latin America were brought to the United States for internment, or interned in their countries of residence. | | | In Endo, the court accepted a petition for a writ of habeas corpus and ruled that the WRA had no authority to subject a citizen whose loyalty was acknowledged to its procedures. |
