who was Toyosaburo Fred Korematsu ? and what was the US Supreme court sanction in his case?
what was the main argument about his case?


Toyosaburo Fred Korematsu was one of the many Japanese-American citizens living on the West Coast during World War II. Shortly after the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, authorizing the Secretary of War and his military commanders to require all Japanese Americans be removed from designated "military areas" and placed in internment camps. When such orders were issued for the West Coast, Korematsu became a fugitive. His conviction for disobeying that order led to a test of the order’s legality before the United States Supreme Court in Korematsu v. United States.

The Supreme Court sided with the government, ruling that the exclusion order was constitutional. The opinion held that the need to protect against espionage outweighed Fred Korematsu’s individual rights, and the rights of Americans of Japanese descent.
