- In the incarceration camps, Japanese were treated poorly and the guards were directed to shoot anyone who tried to leave. The camps were surrounded by barbed-wire fences to keep the people inside, guarded by US soldiers, they were given poor food, and over 1,500 deaths occurred inside.
- Civil Liberties Act
- Japanese had to farm crops for Americans, build camouflage netting, children attended school.
