A group of 167 Hawaii men (mostly Issei) were sent on the second transfer ship for internment in U.S. Army and Department of Justice camps on the Mainland. Together, the men were sent from camp to camp.
In June 1943, this transfer group was split into two, with this group sent directly from Camp Livingston to the Santa Fe Camp.
From there, some internees were paroled to War Relocation Authority camps, where they were reunited with family members. Others were transferred for repatriation to Japan.

Itsuo Inazaki arrived in Hawaii in 1907 from his native Kumamoto Prefecture and initially worked as a sugar plantation laborer on the Big Island. Over the course of the next decade, he worked in Honolulu and on Molokai Island before settling on Maui. With the death of his wife in 1921, Inazaki was left to care for his three young children.
By 1941, the widower was a mail carrier in the sugar plantation community of Spreckelsville. Arrested shortly after the Pearl Harbor attack, Inazaki was sent into internment on the Mainland.
Within days of arriving at Camp Livingston in Louisiana, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and died at the camp hospital on June 19, 1942. He was buried in the camp the next day.
