In March 1942, Congress passed legislation empowering President Franklin D. Roosevelt by executive order and cabinet or military orders under his direction to restrict movement or residence in any designated military area or war zone where he felt that such restriction was necessary to national security. Because of growing fear that an invasion of the West Coast was imminent and lurking suspicions about the loyalty of Japanese Americans living along the coast, President Roosevelt issued Executive Order #9066. This order declared that "the successful prosecution of the war requires every possible protection against espionage and against sabotage to national defense material, national defense premises, and national defense utilities." The order came to be applied increasingly to people of Japanese ancestry, citizen and alien alike. The restrictions ranged from the imposition of curfews to forced removal to "relocation centers" outside Military Area I.

At the time of the announcement of the exclusion order, Fred Korematsu was in his early twenties. He was of Japanese ancestry but was born in Oakland, California. A graduate of Oakland High School, Korematsu had tried twice to enlist in the army but was turned down for a physical disability. Before and after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Fred worked in defense plants in the San Francisco area. He had no criminal record and had been a loyal, law-abiding American citizen. Had he obeyed the order, he would have been separated from his Caucasian girl friend, so rather than submit to confinement he ran away. Posing as Chinese, Korematsu took a job in a trailer park.
Arrested in May, Korematsu was tried in a federal district court. He challenged the order as it applied to him, a loyal citizen of the United States, but he was found guilty of knowingly violating the Civilian Exclusion Order. Korematsu appealed the district court's decision to the U.S. Circuit Court, but his conviction was sustained. He was confined in a relocation center in Utah while he appealed his case to the United States Supreme Court.
