Nate Blower Red Group 2/22/14 Letter to editor The U.S.

government is going out of its boundarys by imposing Executive Order 9066 and related acts because they in deceitfully put Japanese Americans into internment. When Pearl Harbor struck the United States went into a panic and the pressure of some groups blaming Japanese Americans eventually reached the Federal Government and they were thrown into internment camps often without even knowing why they were put in them or what was wrong with what they did. This placement goes against The Writ of Habeas Corpus which according to Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, (Can) not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it. The public safety was mostly safe from any Japanese American rebellions or invasions of any sorts. Curtis B. Munson, a special investigator for the state department, even said that, almost 100% of the Japanese American population was extremely trustworthy. The entire U.S. government was aware of this when Executive Order 9066 was passed, so the internment of the Japanese American population was unconstitutional in this right. These camps also often had cramped quarters and harsh living conditions surrounding them so some internees became sick and a few even died. The camps also in most cases left Japanese Americans in a much worse state than before the internment, families often were broken apart in the camps, years of work had been made useless and adults and children were given permanent emotional scars from their time at the camps. Overall, the state the Japanese Americans were left in, the lack of actual threat and the unconstitutionality of the situation made the internment not justifiable.
