Description
Letter from Roger Baldwin to A. L. Wirin: "Dear Al, In reply to yours of the 23 to Cliff, who is ill, let me say that I hope you understand that the Department of Justice people think Purcell, Endo's attorney, is wrong, and he ought to re-open the case with the District Court and get the case advanced so that it will be heard in the Supreme Court with the other cases. The Department of Justice people are pretty certain that only a writ case will be successful. The important point is that all these cases should get to the Supreme Court together, and if the Endo case goes over it won't no any one like it." The ACLU-Northern California case file records contain legal documents and correspondence pertaining to the case Ex parte Mitsuye Endo (1944), in which the United States Supreme court unanimously ruled that the federal government could not indefinitely detain United States citizens who were loyal to the government. Files include documents related to the Gordon Hirabayashi Supreme Court case Hirabayashi v. United States.
