FDR's Executive Order No. 9066 reminded me of the Nuremberg Laws in Germany that were enacted 7 years before FDR's executive order because both introduced race as a means of separating good from evil, fostering xenophobia and intolerance.

LAD #37: FDR’s Executive Order 9066
On the grounds that the success of WWII depends on the prevention of foreign espionage in America, FDR declares that the Secretary of War is authorized to construct military areas in which "any or all persons may be excluded", and he gave over to the Secretary the discretion to who should enter these areas. He states that the Secretary is authorized to provide food, transportation, shelter, and other accommodations for these groups. He also grants the Secretary the power to enforce compliance with these laws, and grants them the usage of Federal troops.
