1798 (Chapter 66, Sec. 1; 1 Stat. 577; 50 U.S.C. 
21; commonly known as the Alien Enemies Act). 
(4) Additional authority for the treatment of 
Italian Americans during World War II was based 
on Executive Order 9066 (7 Fed. Reg. 1407) and 
Executive Order 9102 (7 Fed. Reg. 2165). 
(5) These orders required Italian-born citizens 
and their families to carry identification cards, face 
travel restrictions, and obey curfews. 
(6) These orders authorized the seizure of per-
sonal property. 
(7) 10,000 Italian Americans living on the West 
Coast were forced to leave their homes and were 
prohibited from entering coastal zones during World 
War II. 
(8) Thousands of Italian-American immigrants 
were arrested and hundreds were interned in mili-
tary camps during World War II. 
(9) The treatment of Italian Americans during 
World War II needs to be acknowledged in order to 
remember those whose lives were unjustly disrupted 
and whose freedoms were violated. 
(10) Acknowledging and apologizing for the 
treatment of Italian Americans during World War II 
would help repair the Italian-American community
