The dissenting opinion raises the fact that Japanese Americans were being deprived of civil rights during World War II: Japanese Americans were forced into internment camps because of suspicion over their ties with Japan. Before the internment, Japanese Americans’ houses were being searched without warrants, and during internment, Japanese Americans were allegedly deprived of a number of constitutional rights, such as the right to freedom of speech, the right to freedom of assembly and practice of religion, and the right to freedom press, amongst others. Shinto religion was banned, and during gatherings, Japanese Americans were forced to speak in English.
