Prison for US Citizens of Japanese ancestry. RACISM pure and simple..., and even the churches went along with it. Roosevelt and the people as Hitlers soulmates.

Force the Feds to go back and audit all real property owned by these people when they were rounded up and put in prison and give it to them and their descendants, no matter what 'improvements' have been made since. It was stolen from them and nothing can take away the stench of racism attached to the theft of their property.

That was then this is now, stupid. FLDS can attest to that, altough at this point I fail to see any national security. I would like to see a lawsuit including the Utah Connection for trashing civil rights.
