Explanation

In Korematsu v. United States (1944), the Supreme Court upheld the government’s wartime exclusion order that led to Japanese Americans being forcibly removed and incarcerated. Therefore, the correct choice is “The Supreme Court supported the internment of Japanese Americans.” The Court did not order reparations or require individualized evidence before the removals.
