the policy of the US government to mistreat the internees. In fact the internees were generally well treated and cared for in almost all cases. The US court system had ruled in WW2 that it was legal for the government to take this action. Regardless, the Japanese-American citizens believed that the idea was wrong for them to have been sent to the camps in the first place. They petitioned the US government for compensation after the war. Eventually the US government apologized and paid some compensation to former internees, but the bitterness would remain for many.
