Answer 1

The internment order was issued to move Japanese immigrants and Japanese Americans away from the West Coast.

During World War II, the US government issued an executive order that authorized the internment of Japanese Americans and Japanese immigrants who were living on the West Coast. This order resulted in the forced relocation and incarceration of over 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were American citizens, to internment camps in various locations around the country, but most of them were located in the interior of the country, away from the West Coast.
