The U.S. government put many Japanese Americans in internment camps
This happened during World War II after the Japanese attacked the US base in Hawaii when Franklin Roosevelt was president.
Everyone in America was suddenly afraid of innocent Japanese Americans. They became outcasts with little money and no one willing to help. Soon the US government forced all Americans of Japanese descent to go into concentration camps, miserable places where they were forced to stay. They were in the camps for many year (for more information try reading Farewell to Manzanar) and once they were out they were still strongly discriminated against.
limited government (grad point) ;)
Life was just a toy to Japanese during Japanese Occupation they give those POW only some food
The crime used to justify internment during World War II was espionage and sabotage, particularly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The fear of Japanese Americans being loyal to Japan and a potential threat to national security led to their forced removal and imprisonment in internment camps.
The U.S. government put many Japanese Americans in internment camps
During World War II, the US government, under Executive Order 9066, authorized the internment of Japanese Americans. Approximately 120,000 individuals of Japanese ancestry, including both US citizens and non-citizens, were forcibly removed from their homes and relocated to internment camps. The involvement included government officials, military personnel, and law enforcement authorities.

No it was not - they were American citizens who had done nothing wrong. They were not fighting on the Japanese side during the war. The internment was caused by fear and racism.
Internment camps
Japanese-Americans were sent to internment camps during World War II. This internment occurred even if they were no threat.
No --- I believe you're thinking of Manzanar. Manzanar was an internment camp used for the Japanese during WWII.
