Executive Order 9066 empowered the army to imprison Japanese Americans without naming them.

Evidence

A short two months later, on February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, which authorized the secretary of war to designate “military areas” across the country “from which any or all persons may be excluded.” The executive order never mentioned Japanese Americans by name, but it delegated the power to imprison them to the US military. — Dorothy A. Brown, Getting to Reparations, 167
