The two moved to Chicago in 1946 and had three children. She began working as a secretary for the Mayor’s Committee on Race Relations. She met her husband Kenneth Tsutsumi in the Topaz War Relocation Center.She told John Tateishi that she agreed to take her case to court because it was “for the good of everybody.” Endo said that she thought her case “might have been thrown out of court because of the bad sentiment toward us” and that she never believed she would be the one.Senator Brian Schatz recommended her for the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015 in a letter to President Obama, describing her as “an ordinary person who made the extraordinary choice to forego her own freedom in order to secure the rights of 120,000 Japanese Americans who were wrongfully imprisoned without the benefit of due process.” Her victory led to the process of ending incarceration for Japanese Americans and “forced the government to recognize the unconstitutionality of their actions.” Endo was the only plaintiff to win an internment case with a unanimous ruling in favor of the plaintiff.Supreme Court Justice Frank Murphy stated that “Detention in Relocation Centers of persons of Japanese ancestry regardless of loyalty is not only unauthorized by Congress or the Executive, but is another example of the unconstitutional resort to racism inherent in the entire evacuation program.”.This ended Japanese incarceration for “concededly loyal” Japanese Americans. The Court of Appeals sent it to the Supreme Court for a final decision, which then ruled in favor of Endo.Her first petition was dismissed without explanation after a year at the District Court, but Purcell appealed the decision. Endo was the “only female resistor” of Executive Order 9066 whose case reached the Supreme Court.She was the only plaintiff who chose to stay in incarceration, in order to ensure her case would be active, even after the War Relocation Authorities (WRA) presented her with an offer of freedom under the pretense that she couldn’t return to the West Coast afterward, according to the New York Times.Endo’s methodist background, previous employment as a clerical worker for the state of California, her brother being in the army and that she had never been to Japan made her case the “perfect” one for “protesting detention,” according to Advancing Justice-Asian Law Caucus.
