LAD #35- FDR's Executive Order #9066

           On the grounds that the success of WWII depended on the prevention of foreign espionage in America, FDR declares that the Secretary of War is authorized to construct military areas in which "any or all persons may be excluded", and he gave over to the Secretary the discretion to who should enter these areas. He states that the Secretary is authorized to provide food, transportation, shelter, and other accommodations for these groups. He also grants the Secretary the power to enforce compliance with these laws, and grants them the usage of Federal troops. This was brought along because of the panic after Pearl Harbor, and therefore created racial tensions between certain American groups and the Japanese Americans.
