Description
Report with details about a study by a lawyers committee of "matters triable under the Resolution" by the [ACLU] Board, which allowed for "any question other than a direct attack upon the power of the President or the military commanders to set up military zones and remove citizens." 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.
