    H.R. 5800/S. 2981- Secure Data Act of 2014 The United States Constitution under the Fourth Amendment ensures our right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, and by extension has been interpreted to protect our right of privacy. The Fourth Amendment states: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized” (The Charters of Freedom).

Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 that was put in place "to prescribe military areas in such places and of such extent as he or the appropriate Military Commander may determine from which any or all persons may be excluded."

February 19, 1842 marked the day President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized that the military relocate the Japanese-Americans; he states that the military has the right to “prescribe military areas” as proper bases for the internment camps (Doc 2).…
