UNITED STATES v. MINORU YASUI - District Court, D. Oregon (6752 words)
Congress, on December 8, 1941, by joint resolution, declared a state of war to be existing between the Imperial Government of Japan and the Government and people of the United States.
The power of Congress, however, during time of war over aliens of a country which is hostile to the United States is almost plenary, (Footnote 50) as is that of the President by a series of acts dating to the foundation of the Union.
Since Congress provided for the punishment of persons violating the proclamations of the commanding officers, and since Yasui is an alien who committed a violation of this act, which included by reference the regulations of the commander referring to aliens, the court finds him guilty.
