Reflection Paragraph • Based on the precedent set in the Hirabayashi & Korematsu decisions as well as these images, answer the following questions – In general, should Americans be expected to have their basic civil liberties taken away in order to protect the nation from a possible threat? – In the case of internment, were the actions justified or did the U. S. government go too far? – Should security pay extra attention today to people who appear to be “Middle Eastern/Muslim”?
