He was arrested, convicted, and appealed his case. In 1944,&nbsp;<em>Korematsu v. United States<\/em>&nbsp;was heard by the Supreme Court, where Mr. Korematsu\u2019s conviction was upheld. A federal judge in San Francisco overturned his conviction in 1983, but Mr. Korematsu\u2019s Supreme Court decision still stands.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What lessons can we learn from our history? How does the Supreme Court decision impact our society today? The case became relevant again in 2018 during&nbsp;<em>Trump v. Hawaii<\/em>, where the Supreme Court upheld the Trump Administration\u2019s policy of banning most residents of seven countries from entering the U.S. The Court upheld the ban on a 5 to 4 vote, rejecting arguments that the ban was \u201canti-Muslim.\u201d However, Chief Justice wrote, \u201cKorematsu was gravely wrong the day it was decided, has been overruled in the court of history, and\u2014to be clear\u2014has no place in law under the Constitution.\u201d&nbsp;Dr.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/korematsuinstitute.org\/karen-korematsu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Karen Korematsu<\/a>, daughter of Fred Korematsu, speaks with ACTEC Fellow&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/actec.matrixdev.net\/directory\/profile\/Hung-Nguyen\/ea3f866e-6073-465b-b66d-aa19af95db0f\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hung V.
