The statement is True.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Executive Order 9066 was issued in 1942, which allowed the U.S. military to create restricted zones and remove civilians, especially people of Japanese heritage, from those areas. This led to the internment of Japanese Americans in camps during World War II.
