Answer: D) Internment of Japanese citizens in camps.

Explanation:

The Japanese settled in America during World War II were in an unenviable position. At the behest of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1942, which ordered Japanese Americans to leave their homes and jobs at the internment camp. The FBI often broke into Japanese dwellings without a warrant and seized certain items suspected of posing a threat to national security.

At the trial of the Japanese, the defense was in an awkward position because often, many witnesses were arrested, so there was no one to testify. The camps were forbidden to practice any religious beliefs related to Japanese culture. They were denied the freedom to print the media and thus the freedom of speech. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's 1942 orders are ordering Japanese Americans to leave their homes and jobs at the internment camp.
