FAQs
Did Earl Warren regret his part in the removal of Japanese Americans?
Yes. He privately regretted it by early 1944 and fully acknowledged his error in his posthumously published memoirs.
Yes, though not at once and not in public for many years. As attorney general of California, Warren was a firm proponent of the forced removal and internment of over 100000 Japanese Americans during World War II. By early 1944 he had come to regret his role, but he long resisted any public expression of regret despite repeated requests from the Japanese American community. In his posthumously published memoirs he acknowledged his error and said he deeply regretted the removal order and his own testimony advocating it.
