Answer:

He violated the fifth amendment

Step-by-step explanation:

Since someone already explained one summary of what happened, I'll give you the other :)

Affirmed the lower courts. Conviction upheld. Majority: Conviction affirmed. The Supreme Court ruled that the evacuation order violated by Korematsu was valid, and it was not necessary to address the constitutional racial discrimination issues in this case.

Answer: He violated the Fifth Amendment and would not leave his residence.

Explanation: A Japanese-American man living in San Leandro, Fred Korematsu, chose to stay at his residence rather than obey the order to relocate. Korematsu was arrested and convicted of violating the order. He responded by arguing that Executive Order 9066 violated the Fifth Amendment.
