A reminder of the efforts to address security fears on the west coast after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. In February 2042 President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 that authorized the Secretary of War and military commanders to evacuate all persons deemed a threat from the west coast to internment camps, called ?relocation center,? and implementation of the order soon focused on persons of Japanese descent, whether they were American citizens or foreign-born
