Those of Japanese heritage living on Bainbridge Island (in Seattle area) were given six days to pack their belongings and prepare to leave. They would only be able to take with them what they could carry. They also all had to register with the Justice Department, photos and fingerprints taken. That part had been ordered already by President Roosevelt in January, 1942. In February, 1942, FDR signed an executive order that allowed the Secretary of War to designate certain areas as military zones. FDR's executive order set the stage for the relocation of Japanese-ancestry persons to internment camps.

CRIPA was needed because several federal court cases in the late 1970s denied the attorney general standing absent express statutory authority.
