On December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The US thought that there was going to to be another war with the country again. The state put President Roosevelt to take action to the Japanese descent living in the US. On February 19, 1942 Roosevelt signed a order that Japanese people who lived in the US during World War 2 where sent to internment camps. The US justified their action by claiming that there was a danger of those Japanese descent. More than half of them had children and none of them disloyalty to the nation. Some people were separated from there family members and put into different camps. During the entire war only ten people were convicted of spying for Japan and these were all Caucasian. In the camps it was hard to serve. They were given a little bit of food and water each day they were in the camps. Some people died because they weren't treated with medical care and high emotional stress that they suffered. Those were taken to camps in the desert areas with extremes of temperature.
