Executive Order 9102 was a United States presidential executive order ordering the creation of the War Relocation Authority (WRA) which was the U.S. civilian agency responsible for the penetration, relocation and internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. This executive order was signed by President Franklin Roosevelt on March 18, 1942 and officially expired on June 30, 1946.
Milton S. Eisenhower, then an official of the Department of Agriculture, was chosen to head the WRA. Within nine months, the WRA had opened ten facilities in seven states, and transported over 100,000 people from the WCCA facilities of whom 64% were American citizens.
