Answer to the Puzzle # 7734

Internment of Japanese Americans in the United States during WWII under the executive order 9066 issued by the President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

1) Image #1 - Pearl

2) Image # 3 - Harbor

These two images refer to the period after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

3) Image #2 - Refer to Executive Order # 9066

4) Image # 4 - The internment is considered to have resulted more from racism than from any security risk posed by Japanese Americans. In order to refer this EO as racism, I have include this image of African-American university student Vivian Malone entering the University of Alabama in the U.S. to register for classes as one of the first non-white students to attend the institution. Until 1963, the university was racially segregated and non-white students were not allowed to attend.

5) Image #5 - In 1944, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the removal by ruling against Fred Korematsu's appeal for violating an exclusion order. The Court limited its decision to the validity of the exclusion orders, avoiding the issue of the incarceration of U.S. citizens with no due process.

6) Image #6 - Japanese Americans were incarcerated based on local population concentrations and regional politics. More than 110,000 Japanese Americans, who mostly lived on the West Coast, were forced into interior camps, but in Hawaii, where the 150,000-plus Japanese Americans composed over one-third of the population, 1,200 to 1,800 were interned.

President Jimmy Carter opened an investigation to determine whether the decision to put Japanese Americans into internment camps had been justified by the government. He appointed the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians (CWRIC) to investigate the camps. The Commission's report, titled Personal Justice Denied, found little evidence of Japanese disloyalty at the time and, concluding the incarceration had been the product of racism, recommended that the government pay reparations to the survivors. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed into law the Civil Liberties Act, which apologized for the internment on behalf of the U.S.Government and authorized a payment of $20,000 (equivalent to $40,500.84 in 2016) to each individual camp survivor. The legislation admitted that government actions were based on "race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership."The U.S. government eventually disbursed more than $1.6 billion (equivalent to $3,240,067,530 in 2016) in reparations to 82,219 Japanese Americans who had been interned and their heirs.

The key image to find the results of this puzzle was second image in the first row with the number 9066.

The current constitutional crisis is about the administration's claim that the President has unrestricted right to exclude immigration from any country based on intelligence information he has in his possession in the interest of the national security and the courts have no right to intervene. The Attorney General of a few states are arguing that this ban is based on a religious test as there is a carve out for the Christian minority from the same countries. This is unconstitutional. Moreover, these visas were granted after extreme vetting causing undue hardship to more than 100,000 foreigners. Both Washington and Minnesota are the most affected as many students could not join the Universities in the next fall
