In the United States, during the Pacific War, the California Legislature adopted a resolution to apologize that Nikkei were deemed "emigrants from enemy countries" and taken to concentration camps.

In the United States, during the Pacific War, Japanese Americans were regarded as "emigrants from enemy countries" and were detained in facilities built in mountainous areas far from urban areas.

In this regard, the California Legislature unanimously adopted a resolution on April 20.

The resolution states that a Presidential Decree issued by President Roosevelt in 1942 forced the detention of more than 120,000 Japanese Americans, resulting in the loss of housing, work, and separation of families.

He said that it was important to learn from the lessons of the past, and he apologized to all Nikkei for war detention.

In 1988, President Reagan officially apologized and ordered him to pay compensation for the incarceration of Japanese Americans.

"It makes sense that the apology resolution has now been adopted under the Trump administration. Nikkei are mindful of what is happening on the U.S. border," said Member of the State of Al-Mratucci, who submitted the resolution. "I am hurt."
