One of the Supreme Court's Most Infamous Cases Is As Relevant as Ever
Briefly

Korematsu v. United States was a landmark Supreme Court case that endorsed racial discrimination, showcasing a significant failure in civil liberties during World War II.
While the Korematsu ruling affirmed the internment based on race, the Endo case successfully highlighted the injustice faced by loyal Japanese Americans, leading to lifting exclusion.
Korematsu remains a symbol of systemic racism in the US judicial system, a poignant reminder of civil rights violations that echo in today's policies.
In recent contexts, the Korematsu decision has been explicitly referenced to critique policies like Trump’s Muslim ban, highlighting its relevance in ongoing discussions about race.
