Editing McCarran Internal Security Act (section)

===Amended===
Part of the Act was repealed by the [[Non-Detention Act]] of 1971 after facing public opposition, notably from Japanese Americans. President [[Richard Nixon]], while signing the repeal bill, referred to the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II for historical context as to why the bill needed to be repealed.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Izumi|first=Masumi|date=May 2005|title=Prohibiting "American Concentration Camps"|journal=Pacific Historical Review|volume= 74|issue=2|pages=166|jstor=10.1525/phr.2005.74.2.165|doi=10.1525/phr.2005.74.2.165}}</ref>
