What theme is addressed in Okita’s poem "In Response to Executive Order 9066"?

The poem challenges the idea that Japanese Americans were dangerous or disloyal during World War II. It describes an ordinary young person whose family is forced from home, emphasizing their humanity rather than presenting them as a threat. So the theme is that Japanese Americans were not the enemy; the poem does not argue that internment was justified.
