Form for Presidential Arrest Warrant |
|
The arrest and internment in Army camps of suspicious enemy aliens was not done under the authority of the U.S. courts, but under the authority of presidential arrest warrants. These warrants commanded the U.S. Marshals to arrest the specified individual and deliver him to the internment camps at Hot Springs, North Carolina, Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, and other places. Once in the camps, the prisoners were in the custody of the Army, unless they escaped. The pictures of camp life show some of the activities of the prisoners at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. The captions were written at the time by Justice Department officials who visited the camps.
