A bit of historical perspective
FDR attempted to pack the supreme court and put large numbers of American citizens into camps.
As far as conspiracy theories go, allegedly "FDR deliberately kept that information from his commanders in Hawaii so the attack would sway American public opinion from its intransigent isolationism."
John Adams pushed the alien and sedition acts and used them to jail and harass journalists who disagreed with him.
There is nothing new under the sun.
