Hirabayashi v. US

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.09 sec.

Hirabayashi v. US

US Supreme Court decision of 1943 dealing with wartime legislation restricting the rights of citizens based on national origin. The case was brought in response to special curfews for Japanese-Americans on the US west coast. Hirabayashi charged that this and the forced relocation of Japanese-Americans during World War II was a violation of Fifth Amendment rights.

The Court refused to rule on relocation measures (Korematsu v. US 1944) but upheld Congress's curfew, judging that danger of internal sabotage in the war with Japan warranted this extraordinary measure.
