Description
Letter from Roald A. Hogenson to Wayne M. Collins: "Dear Mr. Collins: It is my understanding that the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is considering on appeal the Korematsu, Hirabayashi, Yasui and Regan cases and that you have participated in the cases as amicus curiae. I have been making an intensive study of the evacuation and relocation of Japanese Americans, and I would like very much to secure copies of the brief submitted in those cases. I would appreciate very much whatever you can do for me in this regard." 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.
