One notable Supreme Court case from the 20th century is Korematsu vs. United States. This case examined the constitutionality of internment camps for Japanese-American citizens following the Pearl Harbor attack. The internment stemmed from President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066.

In contrast, three justices contended this was a form of racial discrimination, pointing out that many of those interned had committed no offenses.
