The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II illustrates that 4. civil liberties are sometimes limited during times of national crisis. Remember that internment camps were developed specifically for Japanese-Americans living on the Pacific Coast due to the racist idea that these Japanese-Americans (many of whom had lived in the US for their entire lives) were going to act as saboteurs against the US military during World War II. Their forced relocation was a clear violation of civil rights, but the Supreme Court attested its legality.
