How about the date on which the writ of habeas corpus was suspended

No idea. Have you tried Google?

Unfortunately Google is not always useful.

Reading ex parte Endo, it appears that habeas corpus was not suspended
here. The War Relocation Authority conceded that it had no power to
hold anyone prisoner; in fact no one had the power to hold the internees
prisoner once they were out of the prohibited zones. There may be some
obscure note, somewhere, which says otherwise, but I can't find it (and
suspending the writ wouldn't be an obscure act).
