LAD #35: FDR's Executive Order #9066

FDR delivered his Executive Order #9066 to the Secretary of War. This granted him the ability to create military sectors of the country "from which any or all persons may be excluded". These sectors, locations, etc. were not designed for any specific reason at the time. Later on, these would be used as Japanese Internment Camps. The areas were designated for use as "foreign enemy ancestry" detainment locations during the war. Roosevelt cited and quotes many other executive orders and states that these did not invalidate this one by any means.
