On this day in 1942, Democrat President Franklin Roosevelt ordered the imprisonment of over 100,000 Japanese citizens solely because of their national origin. The Democrat-appointed majority of the Supreme Court, in an opinion authored by former KKK member Hugo Black, upheld the order. The only Republican-appointed member of the Supreme Court dissented. In 1976 Republican President Gerald Ford signed an executive order prohibiting the executive branch from ever taking such action again. In 1988 Republican President Ronald Reagan formally apologized on behalf of the American people and authorized reparations for all those detained or their descendants.
