It is a fact that the clause of habeas corpus is located in “Article I, which sets forth the powers of Congress, and not in Article II, which concerns the Executive,” (Jaffa 364). And while the President is not a member of the legislative branch, Harry V. Jaffa, professor and author of the University of Chicago, claims that “where in the Constitution it [habeas corpus] is placed is wholly subordinate to why it is there at all. Lincoln’s suspension of the writ is therefore lawful,” (Jaffa 364).
President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the internment with Executive Order 9066, issued February 19, 1942, which allowed local military commanders to designate "military areas" as "exclusion zones," from which "any or all persons may be excluded." This power was used to declare that all people of Japanese ancestry were excluded from the entire Pacific coast, including all of California and most of Oregon and Washington, except for those in internment camps.

Great point. We've unlawfully detained our citizens before. Why are people so skeptical that it could happen again?
