Min Yasui actually tried to be in the army nine times. But one day on March 28, 1942, Yasui directly challenged the constitutionality of Executive Order 9066. With a copy of the curfew order in hand, Yasui intentionally violated the curfew and had his secretary call the police to tell them that he was violating curfew. When an officer told him to go back home, he went to the police station and demanded to be arrested. In November 1942, a federal judge ruled that he had forfeited his citizenship as an employee of the Japanese consulate and he violated curfew. Yasui's lawyers appealed the case to the U.S. Supreme Court where its constitutionality was upheld.
