JCCH records May 1942 arrest, US Immigration Station detention, Sand Island May 1942-March 1943 and Honouliuli March-October 1943. She was paroled October 1943 and released from parole November 1944. Her case forms part of US wartime civilian incarceration in Hawaii; the archive does not establish an individual criminal conviction.
