FDR issued his Executive Order #9066 on February 19, 1942. He stated that this document was needed to prevent any acts of espionage or any other actions that were against the United States or its war effort. Roosevelt declared that the Secretary of War and Military Commanders had the power to designate military zones. He granted his support to other federal agencies and bureaus as well, to supply them with all the materials they may need. He ordered all federal agencies to support the war effort with all of their resources such as food, land, shelter, equipment, facilities, utilities, etc. This order led to Japanese internment camps in military zones in America, in which innocent Japanese- Americans were lead to prevent espionage.
