The United States responded to the attack by declaring war with Japan, sparking Germany to declare war with the United States because they were allies to Japan, and the United States officially entered World War II.<\/p>\n<p>During this state of frenzied panic, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an executive order to detain anyone of Japanese descent for fear of espionage \u2013 without any proof that this was happening. Most of these people, including five-year-old George Takei of eventual Star Trek fame, were American citizens. George Takei told a story reported to NBC News of his memories of being removed by American military soldiers at gunpoint.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Two of the internment camps were placed inside Native American reservations, despite the protests of the tribes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After the war ended and the last camp closed in 1948, many captives returned to their homes to find they had been destroyed or sold out from under them while they were away.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t until 40 years later that President Ronald Reagan signed the Civil Liberties Act in 1988 that anyone saw restitution. And the CLA only gave each survivor $20,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In March of 2022, 16 House Republicans voted against a bill that would create a \u201cJapanese American World War II History Network\u201d within the National Park Service as an educational memorial. It passed anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;
