Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Latin Americans of Japanese Descent Act

H.R. 662 would establish a federal commission to investigate the relocation, internment, and deportation of Latin Americans of Japanese descent who were held in United States custody during World War II. The commission would be tasked with researching the historical facts surrounding these events and recommending potential remedies to Congress based on its findings. For the public, this bill aims to provide a formal historical accounting and official recognition of the treatment of this specific group of individuals during the 1940s.
