dec 18, 1944 - Korematsu v. U.S.

Description:

Korematsu v. United States was a landmark Supreme Court case in 1944 where the Court upheld the constitutionality of the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II as a wartime necessity. The decision has since been widely criticized for its endorsement of racial discrimination and was formally repudiated by the Supreme Court in the 2018 case Trump v. Hawaii.
