Document:
After the attacks of September 11, 2001, President Bush declared a “war on terrorism.” Part of this war on terrorism involved the passage of new laws, establishment of warning systems, and increased surveillance. The Supreme Court heard several cases involving the detention of persons alleged to be “enemy combatants.” These detentions forced many people to reflect on the detentions of Japanese Americans during World War II.
