LAD #35: FDR's Executive Order #9066

Summary:

Feb 19, 1942. The President gives the Secretary of War the authority to designate certain areas as military regions.

(This led to the Japanese internment camps of WWII, meant to restrict espionage among those who might be loyal to an enemy country based on their heritage.)
