Later that day, Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Presidential Proclamation #2525, authorizing FBI agents to apprehend any Japanese alien fourteen years or older. On the following day, the President issued similar proclamations against German and Italian aliens (#2526 and #2527), and declared war on Japan. Overnight, a million law-abiding immigrants were transformed into \u201cenemy aliens,\u201d based solely on their country of origin. On December 11, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department\u2019s apprehension and detention of thousands of Japanese, Germans, and Italians was authorized by the Alien Enemies Act of 1918 \u2013 U.S. Code, Title 50, Sections 21-24. Based on the 1798 Alien and Sedition Acts, this law specifies that citizens (age 14 and over) of enemy nations can be \u201capprehended, restrained, secured and removed\u201d in case of declared war, or actual or threatened \u201cinvasion or predatory incursion\u201d by a foreign nation. No explicit distinction is made between resident immigrants and aliens in the U.S. on a temporary basis.<\/p>\n<p>The records on the interned \u201cdangerous enemy aliens\u201d contain no specific evidence of subversive activities against the United States. In fact, evidence that Japanese aliens were not a threat was available but suppressed. For example, a 1941 FBI break-in at the Japanese Consulate in Los Angeles discovered memos indicating that the Japanese government considered Japanese immigrants and Japanese Americans to be cultural traitors and therefore unreliable. Japan did not trust any aid or information from Japanese immigrants.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInRight&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: .7rem;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-335\" src=\"https:\/\/njahs.org\/enemy-alien-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/FBI-agents-search-the-Palos-Verdes-home-of-Sannosuke-Ino-600x463.jpg\" alt=\"FBI agents search the Palos Verdes home of Sannosuke Ino\" width=\"600\" height=\"463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/njahs.org\/enemy-alien-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/FBI-agents-search-the-Palos-Verdes-home-of-Sannosuke-Ino-600x463.jpg 600w, https:\/\/njahs.org\/enemy-alien-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/FBI-agents-search-the-Palos-Verdes-home-of-Sannosuke-Ino.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: .7rem;\"><strong>FBI agents search the Palos Verdes home of Sannosuke Ino, <\/strong><em>Los Angeles Daily News, 1942.

Attorney General Francis Biddle issued a memo stating that the FBI should only investigate activities of persons who may have violated the law, rather than classifying persons as to \u201cdangerousness.\u201d \u201cThe notion that it is possible to make a valid determination as to how dangerous a person is in the abstract and without reference to time, environment and other relevant circumstances is impractical, unwise, and dangerous,\u201d he wrote. In other words, the \u201cdangerous person\u201d label should not be used to justify wartime <a href=\"https:\/\/njahs.org\/enemy-alien-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Enemy-Alien-Files-Glossary.pdf\">exclusions<\/a> of citizens or aliens because it was not based on valid evidence. Only \u201cbehavior\u201d could be evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, Biddle ordered the FBI to abolish its Custodial Detention Index. Instead of complying, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover simply changed the name to \u201cSecurity Index\u201d and concealed its existence from the Department of Justice. Nevertheless, the DOJ relied on FBI reports to support its program of apprehension and detention of Axis nationals in the U.S. and Latin America, which continued throughout the war, with some Germans held in U.S. detention until 1949.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInRight&#8221;]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-377 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/njahs.org\/enemy-alien-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Enzip-Pinza-292x600.png\" alt=\"Ezio Pinza, the Italian-born opera singer and star of the Metropolitan Opera\" width=\"182\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/njahs.org\/enemy-alien-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Enzip-Pinza-292x600.png 292w, https:\/\/njahs.org\/enemy-alien-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Enzip-Pinza-498x1024.png 498w, https:\/\/njahs.org\/enemy-alien-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Enzip-Pinza.png 742w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 182px) 100vw, 182px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 0.7rem; text-align: center;\"><strong>Ezio Pinza, the Italian-born opera singer and star of the Metropolitan Opera, was detained by the FBI along with hundreds of other \u201cenemy aliens\u201d on Ellis Island. <\/strong><em>Washington Evening Star,<\/em> March 13, 1943.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; gap=&#8221;35&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;zoomIn&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><em>\u201cI was the first one arrested in San Jose\u2026 At 11 P.M. three policemen came to the front door and two at the back\u2026 They didn\u2019t even give me time to go to my room and put on my shoes.
