The case that restricted Japanese Americans' rights during World War II was Korematsu v. United States (1944). In this landmark decision, the Supreme Court upheld the internment of Japanese Americans as a wartime necessity, citing national security concerns. This ruling has since been widely criticized for its endorsement of racial discrimination and violation of civil liberties. It wasn't until decades later that the U.S. government acknowledged the injustices of the internment through formal reparations and apologies.
