Yes. While officially denied for years, they did acknowledge it a few years ago, some six decades after the fact. And back then, just like now, they had told all the people answering the Census that it was completely confidential and that the information (such as on race) would never be disclosed.

There have been no disciplinary actions for that ever, nor has any policy of the U.S. Census Bureau ever changed in response to that complete violation of confidentiality.

What bad things did Franklin Delano Roosevelt do?

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt authorized the internment with Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942, which allowed local military commanders to designate "military areas" as "exclusion zones," from which "any or all persons may be excluded." This power was used to declare that all people of Japanese ancestry were excluded from the entire Pacific coast, including all of California and most of Oregon and Washington, except for those in internment camps. In 1944, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the exclusion orders, while noting that the provisions that singled out people of Japanese ancestry were a separate issue outside the scope of the proceedings. The United States Census Bureau assisted the internment efforts by providing confidential neighborhood information on Japanese Americans. The Bureau's role was denied for decades but was finally proven in 2007.
