Their Brownstone was considered a second home for the members. They'd even bring their spouses and kids to the Brownstone, to celebrate Thanksgiving.

By 1951, the JSA and other masked heroes became publicly victimized by the House of Un-American Activities during the Red Scare, as the American public began to disapprove of vigilantism on the belief that masked vigilantes were breaking federal laws and are unsanctioned by the American government to be considered untrustworthy.

On September 14 1958, the Justice Society was forced to appear before a congressional hearing by the orders of the President and were ultimately demanded by Congress to unmask and reveal their identities. However, the JSA had come prepared with their own alternative, and they vanished before the hearing. On the following day, the Justice Society issued a statement in which they refused to recognize Congress' authority, but as patriotic Americans they refused to break Federal law. Henceforth they retired. Soon, dozens of other masked adventurers start following the Justice Society's example while some other heroes remained at large.

Despite their attempts to keep themselves secret, The Government in retaliation uncovered the identities of the JSA members and framed them for crimes. As a result, Many of the members of the JSA were arrested and institutionalized.

Forcing them out of the skies and out from the streets. Some members were even ripped away from their families, to protect their loved ones.

Eventually, the arrested JSA members were released, as the faked charges didn't hold up. However, many of them had already had their lives ruined. As a result, the JSA disbanded and the members retired from crime fighting.

For the most part, the Justice Society of America members are dead or retired by the early 21st century.
