6:55 this is what CRT talks about today. The order was not worded in a racist manner but was certainly applied in a racist manner. Leeja, do you think you could do a video on CRT as it's taught in law school?

This was so great and so important to remind folks that the US had literal concentration camps for US Citizens ... Of course, and not to be "that guy," but I'd argue that Korematsu was not actually overturned in Hawaii v. Trump. There was no explicit text actually specifying Korematsu was overturned, and arguably that language was dicta and not the Court actually overturning the case. "Being overturned by history" certainly condemns it, but doesn't necessarily overturn it-- language is just too shamefully squishy to me. Would love your thoughts on it! Also, agreed. Sotomayor is a queen. You are awesome and love your videos!!

Same thing with Brown v. Topeka Bd of Edu (1954). It was another "squishy" worded plurality desicison which did not explicitly overturn Plessy v. Ferguson in clear enough language: Too many voices going in all directions just to arrive at the same conclusion--i.e., that "segregation"was unconstitutional, without squarely addressing the logic of the majority in Plessy and vindicating Harlan's dissent in that same case.

There have always been internment camps in North America, even before the US was officially a country. From Native Americans to descendants of Africans, to the Japanese.

Thank you for this video. I visited the internment camps on Angel Island, CA as a teenager. I could feel the sorrow in the walls of the camps. The piles of empty shoes, shoes of all sizes 😢made my stomach hurt. The juxtaposition of the torture of Japanese Americans with the gross opulence and comfort the military personnel had made me so very angry. I highly recommend people see this place with their own eyes to understand what this government is capable of doing to it's citizens.

Intermittent nent camp in Angel Island?!

Thank you for covering this. My mother was not in of those camps and it shock me how many people still don't know it even happened. You should also cover the ex parte Endo decision which ended the incarceration, although some camps remained open until 1949. Going back to the general public's ignorance of this chapter in US history, up until the 1980's, my mother had difficulty anytime she needed to provide her birth certificate, due to the fact that she was born in the camps. She did not have a birth certificate issued by a hospital and/or the state. Nor did she have one issued by the camp. All she had was her "entrance documents" which were issued on her birthday but, they did not actually acknowledge her birth. As such, she did not have a Social Security Number, just her prisoner identification number. As an example, when she got her first driver's license at the DMV, the clerks would look at her "entrance papers" and honestly didn't know what to do with them. It wasn't their fault, nor hers and, she would have to repeat the story of her birth three or four times as each person would go find the person higher up in the chain until they would just shrug, make some copies and let her proceed. Every once in a while she would encounter some bigot who would tell her that being P.O.W. did not make her a citizen. This usually just meant that would have to go back another day or find another office to conduct her business.

I never wanted a parasocial relationship with someone so much. Thank you, Leeja, for your videos featuring a legal perspective on so many social issues I deeply care about. I hear Asian family members that deny this history or have not been given the opportunity to learn it, and this softens that pain I hold seeing loved ones not acknowledge anti-Asian sentiment they see and personally face.

Discovered yesterday, already addicted. I have a feeling I will be going back and watching most of your videos. Thank you.

Another really interesting video. German's and Italian's living in Britain in the second world war were sent to internment camps and were treated fairly harshly. The camps were originally in Manchester but then moved the the Isle of Man, but some internees were sent to Canada, one boat of internees bound for Canada was sunk by a German U-boat. The British government has never apologised for the internment camps or it's bad treatment of the internees.

This also happened during World War 1 and Joseph Pilates was sent to live in an internment camp Inn the Isle of Man, this is where he invented Pilates. Archibald Knox - the artist Brad and Angelina named their after - worked at the camp that Joseph Pilates was living in. Knox worked as a censor of internees letters.

I took my Jr. High jazz band to what remains of the interment camp at Heart Mountain in Wyoming. It seemed to leave a real impact on them to realize that at its height the camp was the 11th largest city in Wyoming.

Thank you so much for this video. Our country has made life difficult, miserable and unjust for many people that I am ashamed. Though I am frequently berated, I still believe that every life matters. Would you consider a video with Ethel and Julius Rosenberg as topic?

Nice analysis and outstanding brow work. I would love to hear your perspective on Louise Cobell and her case against the U.S.

I did a group project on this court case and literally everyone in our group was facing palming at how bad the ruling was. Like to preceding judge was literally a member of the KKK year he was never removed from the case. Also, even without the covered up evidence from the US attorney the US’ arguments was paper thin. It was basically korematsu arguing “we are citizens, and interment camps infringe on our rights, therefore we should remove the camps .” And the US basically said “yeahhhhhhhh-that may be true buttttt he still broke a law and should be imprisoned.” So in the end the US just side stepped the entire argument and still won. Stupidest court ruling ever.

Leeja sans-makeup is giving me a sort of Kirsten Dunst's law practicing sister sort of vibe.

Another irony is that at the time of Exec. Order 9066, there were over 140,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry (and several thousand Japanese nationals) residing in the then territory of Hawaii. Those regarded as potential threats by the FBI were taken into custody (census bureau had their addresses). The overwhelming % were not put into detention including tens of thousands residing, working, living on the island of Oahu where there's a military base: Pearl Harbor. The reason: start with the Ringle report from the Ofc. of Naval Intelligence which concluded the "Japanese problem" i.e. loyalty to the US vs. Japan was overblown by race prejudice. The next problem: where are you going to put all these people? Are you going to move them to the mainland? That would require enormous diversion of resources. The next problem: do you realize what will happen to the economy of the islands if you stop them from working? Military staffers given the option basically ignored or slow walked at considerable risk if even one person betrayed. There were no acts of treason or sabotage etc. By June 7, 1942 (6 months to the day after Pearl Harbor), the Battle of Midway was won, and any chance of invasion was dead. In arguing the gov't case in 1944 against the challenge by Mr. Korematsu (as well as Hirabayashi and Yasui), Solicitor Gen Fahy (in an act of prosecutorial misconduct) basically ignored or suppressed the Ringle Report. This was the basis for the coram nobis writ of error written by then Solicitor Gen. Neal Katyal roundly criticizing his predecessor's actions. Even more irony: on the same day as the Korematsu decision, the Stone SCOTUS issued the Ex Parte Endo decision which held, "The government cannot detain a citizen without charge when the government itself concedes she is loyal to the United States." This made the Korematsu decision a ridiculous legal construct. As a citizen, he was never proven to be disloyal. He was punished for refusing to be illegally imprisoned.

I feel the EXACT same way about the word ironic. As much as I love Alanis, I'll never really forgive her for that.

Hey Leeja, I hope you see this even though this is an old video, but I believe Suess changed, as shown by the message of horton hears a who, and the fact that he dedicated it to his Japanese friend, and he wrote a book on how writing for children is more fun because adults are conditioned by their parents ideologies, and how their enemies become people you laugh at (it was called the adult laughter, or something along those lines) so yeah, I hope he changed and I think he did.

Omg 😳 what a mess. Nothing was as it seemed. I’ve been appalled by how much I’ve been lied to and had propaganda dumped on my head.

I know I'm late to the game but I'm watching all your videos - great stuff. I come from a military family and before enlisting I remember talking to my grandfather a lot because he had experience in WWII; the man killed Nazis on two continents and if I enlisted it was likely I'd be sent off to Afghanistan, so his experience in war would be enlightening. I remember him talking about Japanese interment camps with such disgust, and having told me that "any man who picks up a rifle and fights beside you is your brother, regardless of what they look like, where they come from, what they believe, how they speak or who they love." I remember being so astounded by the fact that someone his age would be so open-minded. Going back to the internment camps his mindset was the premise was ridiculous; an individual's heritage or appearance doesn't make them predisposed to a specific sort of crime, because if that was the case, during the Revolutionary War it would have made sense to put all Englishmen in camps, and that sure as hell wasn't gonna happen.

Thank you, very informative. Especially the breakdown of the 5th amendment. Interesting the mention of militia. Perhaps a way to specify the arming of citizens per the 2nd amendment?

The general you quoted was mild. Vice Admiral William Halsey said “Before we’re through with ’em, the Japanese language will be spoken only in hell!” December 8: 1941 Return of the USS Enterprise to Pearl Harbor.

I love your videos! But I have to defend Alanis Morisette here, the examples in her song are situational irony rather than verbal or dramatic irony.

This struggle between private property and any form of state or union control manifests all the way to the core of what it means to be a member of “Western” civilization. The whole gig got started when some dude, obviously an alpha male, said “All this land belongs to me and you will bend a knee to me or I will have your head”. The very concept of “my land, my property. I am ordained to own by virtue of my victory over the other tribe.” If you wish to overthrow or establish another order over my order, well, Sir , you’ll have to do so over my dead body. So you have it. A struggle to the death over those who wish to renegotiate the legacy of history. Simply put, a struggle may ensue that will spell the extinction of the human race in the form of nuclear destruction. If there is one lesson of the principle of evolution that we as a species must take to heart is that 99% of the species that ever existed have become extinct. It’s that simple. So, my fellow men and women, you have a simple choice . Can we transcend our Paleolithic definition of property or shall we go down with the flag and declare with prejudice that we unconditionally defend the right to private property?

When growing up in a small town USA, our Korean neighbor had been interned in the 1940s at a concentration camp in CA. Just in my county there were 3 concentration camps east of the Rocky Mountains.

Most enlightened moments of my young life.... when my mom was doing her makeup before work. Same here. Wow.

This was a really great video. I hope one day there can be a similar one on the Unangax of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska who were relocated for their “safety” to Southeast Alaska to protect them from the Japanese occupation of the islands and then 10% died because the US thought “meh they can survive; they’re native” before tossing them in the woods (there are no woods in the Aleutian Islands) away from civilization with barely anything to survive. Then American troops raided their villages and churches, some of which are just now being restored. Anyways, this does nothing to undermine this video-no single comment can. I’m simply hoping for something similar on another American disgrace that not even many Alaskans outside of the affected groups know about. I only know about it because my dad is helping restore churches and put up commemorative plaques to better educate people and we visit the gravesite that is the only evidence of at least one of the camps almost every year. And I still don’t know where to other ones are. My point is that the US has done a fantastic job of covering this up and we can’t let them get away with it. Sorry, again, not trying to say that that deserves more press than Japanese internment camps, it’s just another example of the bullshit that the US legal system has done

I ended up writing a paper on this in high school. My mother was in the Navy, and was stationed on Adak, on of the Aleutian Islands. She ended up befriending one of the local people and got invited to the island he and his family lived on. This was in the 90s, and she could still see the damage done by the troops stationed their. A lot of elders and young children died as well. Across the water from where the Unungax were, there was a German POW camp. The POW had heating, food, and were treated well. The Unungax had NOTHING except a building that was in very poor condition, and were pretty much forgotten about. I only know about this because my mother befriended that man. It's one of the worst things the US government ever did, especially because these people were moved for their 'protection', supposedly. And then they were treated worse than POWs.

@@BooksOfValdemar omg I’m so glad other people know about this, but it’s so frustrating (I’m sure you agree) that most people who know about this seems to only know from talking to people affected. Not in class or history books or popular even historical KZread channels. I grew up in Juneau, where those dying of various illnesses were sent to the hospital if they were “lucky”, and still so many residents are unaware of what happened. It’s barely touched on in school even though it’s local history that affected our land and our people, many of whom are still alive. I was told about the German POW camp maybe once or twice but I’m ashamed to say that I hadn’t retained that information. I only know so much about it and the state of affairs on the Aleutian islands because my dad is an architect who is helping restore churches and put up memorials for the Unungax people and trying to restore what was lost both physically but in memory, as well. He’s probably a bit of an oblivious white knight, but his firm, particularly the native partners, is/are also working to design family living style homes that better reflect the communal living of local tradition rather than the Eurocentric mother/father/child structure that in itself destroyed so much culture. Sorry, I went off on an unrelated side tangent, but I thought you might find that information interesting. The points are that it’s frustrating how little this is talked about, but also that, fortunately, there are people working to restore so much of the Unungax culture as well as the cultures of other Alaskan native groups that have been ravaged and neglected for so long. Even though my dad is white, he’s a good listener and is more of a facilitator than anything else; he knows it’s not his place to design cultural structures that he has no part of, so he provides the resources for others to do so and he just consults on the physical viability and durability of architectural pieces. And he’s just one of the people involved in this stuff. You might also be glad to know that the gravesite that is the only piece of the Funter Bay camp was recently restored with plaques and a beautiful archway to mark the entrance of the place of mourning and remembrance. So it looks like more people are becoming aware and doing things to commemorate what happened, even if it’s not yet in history books or widely known about.

Leeja where did you get that shirt? Please I need to know 🥺

I enjoyed your presentation and Legal critique of Korematsu. Who would have ever thought that former President Ronald Reagan would have presented such a Pardon coupled with Reparations! Another thing that was unique about this decision was that Donald Trump's Band on certain groups somehow got caught up with or was coincided with something that transpired during the Second World War. However, one case centered around forced relocation and the other was a band on Immigration, both groups were singled out based on Tyrannical behavior and suspicion. Being African American, I am familiar with these types of Stereotypes coming from White men. Racial Discrimination is as American as Apple Pie! NEVERTHELESS, this was an excellent Legal Presentation of the Fifth Amendment as it pertains to Due Process of Law, Strict Scrutiny and Substantial Due Process in conjunction with Government's concern of Compelling Interest.

Now that you bring up the 5th amendment, can you talk about Manhattan beach and the Bruce family? that whole situation was an absolute mess but I want to better understand the good the bad and the legal through a lawyers eyes.

The other part that is not emphasized enough is that the people weren't just rounded and held in a camp - they had to leave their properties and businesses, effectively defaulting and forfeiting them. Despite all of that, they still volunteered to fight in WWII for the USA. That's pretty big stuff.

The Niihau incident did put American Japanese loyalty to America into question. Saying there was no real world justification would be an overstatement given there was an incident right out of the gate. Was this an overreaction? Perhaps. Was this war existential & was the fear of disloyalty backed up by actual events? Yes. For this type of thing, the sensible move would be financial restitution for damages + a bonus for the inconvenience aka it should have been more than 20K. 3 years salary + a bonus + any business losses (if the person owned a business)

My mothers grandfather was a German farmer in Illinois. He never learned English and hated that Germany was loosing the war. Rachel Madow just did a keynote speech at the Truman Center about holding those in high office accountable. It filled in a lot gaps in the background of the world my mom was growing up in even though she had very little exposure to world, or national, affairs. What did, does she, know about WWII? That her dad was forced to work at a munitions plant even though he could not be drafted. Bombers would sometimes fly over the farm so low they would just clear the barn roof; you could wave at the pilots and they would wave back. Her grandfather had to be smuggled into town when he needed a new pair of shoes. The store owner was Mr. Greenburg who loved having him as a customer.

Before you call out Dr Seuss for racism, I suggest you read Elmo Zumwalt's autobiography: On Watch. He begins by apologizing for the racism evident in his wartime journal entries. He doesn't say he was justified by the times, but he says that he was young and hope you can forgive him for his errors. I am sure that Mr Geisel would ask the same pardon, if asked today.

I recommend an excellent book on this topic, "American Sutra" by Duncan Ryuken Williams. This tells the story of the history, the internment camps, Japanese-American soldiers fighting for the U.S., and the founding of the Buddhist Churches of America. Williams is the grandson of a man who was interned. Well written, fascinating, personal and and eye-opening for those of us who weren't around at the time.

Does the 5th Amendment protect you from Eminent Domain or is that an entirely different confusing section of the law?

My grandaunt Patriot Suarez was married to a Chinese American named Gorge Chue had 3 kids ages 8,7,3 when the military took her children and husband and when she demanded information on them she was locked up and killed her self,my grandfather after coming home from the war fought for them found out that his brother in-law was killed during questioning the fist night and he was able to have the kids transferred back to NY to an orphanage over the years he fought for Custody and every Judge said that they were Asian could not be cared for by Americans and yes we are Spanish but my grandfathers grandfather was Dr. capt. Abraham Dallas Williams during Civil, Spanish wars and he and his Aunt Dr. Elisabeth Cohen very influential in the medical field and there are books by him in the library of congress considered the bases of America society so my grandfather used all the family connections and yet my Cousin always tell me they wish the could have grown up with family thanks for reminding the world that this was not that long ago. My cousin’s still scream in their sleep the Japanese internment camp and the horror of it never left them.

There is something incredibly special and "bitchy" in a layer explaining something important to you while she looks in a mirror and doing her lashes. I loved it.

There is a reason why these internment camps focused exclusively upon Japanese residents on the United States western coastal areas : farmland. Most of the Japanese who were interred and relocated **away from** California's western coastal areas were in the possession of farmland that white realtors wanted--*very VERY BADLY*, and since they didn't feel like being bothered with trying to acquire it the old fashioned way (ya' know, actually offer up a fair price for its purchase), most of those realtors saw a prime opportunity to acquire this land for pennies on the dollar after the attack against Pearl Harbor amped up anti-Japanese ire in the United States..

A big thanks to FDR's executive order.

Have you ever thought about working with George Takei? He's an activist on the Japanese internment camps.

The tactical reality was that there were be Japanese loyalists among the west coast population that would have drawn suspicion on the rest of the asian community from others in the heat of the times. moving the entire community from the west coast to inland concentration camps likely saved many of them from attack from others outside of the rather close asian communities. concentration camps were certainly not a pleasant solution but it was better than leaving them to the linch mobs that would likely have formed. it should be noted that some Japanese men joined the military to serve the country they chose as their own. many of these men were noted for valor & sacrifice.

During California Gold Rush in the 1850s, Chinese people suffering from European invasion of Qing dy nasty came to the United States. After the gold dried up, employment opportunities for whites who went west also dried up. Someone or something had to be blamed. As usual, politicians blamed the Chinese. It wasn't long before racial violence against Chinese intensified in California and later the Oregon territory. While racism in America is traditionally against black people anyone not white is also a target. There are plenty of historical examples to cite but look up Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. Downes vs Bidwell 1901

Compelling government interest. Like winning the war.

History is a circle we never learn from- BECAUSE most of us never learn it, period. And Republicans work hard to keep it that way so they can keep pulling shit like this. I only learned about Japanese internment from George Takei in probably 2017 ish. Now from your video, learn there was one in my state (this infamous Utah one you refer to apparently). I'm so disgusted. We are no better than our enemies and the people or countries of the past and present we pretend we're so morally superior to.

So reparations are possible atleast in this situation.

The story could have started with the 1924 Immigration Act that targeted Asian people for exclusion 🤔☮️

The makeup stuff makes it less accessible for me lol.

Please tell she has a teleprompter.

I think it's important to understand that Dec 7 did bring us into wartime. Conduct during wartime is not the same as serving in peacetime. I know it could have been handled better, but when handling the protection of the United States, the act of war called for different measures concerning who is an enemy even though they had been US citizens. The attack created a lot of fear. Fear leads to different actions that in 20-20 hindsight can be seen as to have not been handled the best. We're also talking about the 1940's as well though.

You missed a spot.

the intenment camps would have never happened if the japenese would not have attacked us for no reason

Well, one thing we can say about it now is, they have been reparated.

Ya, context matters. Internment camps were universally used during WWII. Yeah, so Americans were interned in Japan and Germany.

What politics? That Japanese people should be treated with the same dignity and equality as white people? It’s bullshit that human rights are considered political issues in the US. What happened to this being a free country?

Why are you using the term racist instead of bigot? Japanese is not a race.

Precedent for the State to do this to all who are domiciled on “U.S” soil.

If it makes you feel better about education, I had assignments on this in ninth grade. I did an essay about the parallels between 9066 and modern day treatment of Muslims and immigrants by Trump and right wing politicians.
