LAD #35: Executive Order #9066
The order begins by stating that all necessary measures to defend against espionage must be taken. Next, FDR gives the Secretary of War and his military commanders the ability to control who enters, stays in, and leaves any military locations, which can be created anywhere by order of the Secretary of War. With this, the Secretary of War also has the power to provide food and shelter to all people that may be displaced by the creation of military sectors or bases. The Secretary of War can also use the military to enforce the restrictions that he creates. All other government officials are required to help and provide the Secretary of War with whatever he needs to carry out his decisions. Finally, FDR clarifies that this does not limit or change the power of other government agencies.

This order, as it was targeted at the Japanese, reminds me of Donald Trump's Muslim Ban, which was phrased in a similar way, in that it did not specifically mention Muslims, but was clearly directed at them.
