After Pearl Harbor was bombed, President Roosevelt carried out executive order 9066 on February 19th, 1942. This placed all Japanense, Japanense- Americans on the west coast in internment camps. |
| Amache held a total of 7,800 in its barbed wire fenches. The barracks had one mess hall per unit. There was no insulation, and most of them had dirt floors. |  |
