Japanese Americans were temporarily imprisoned in isolated locations
Badly. Some of the military leaders in California were .... OK, racists, and decided that Japanese might be disloyal. After all, they might send signals to Japanese airplanes or saboteurs, right? So, many Japanese, and Americans of Japanese ancestry, were interned in rather unpleasant conditions away from the coast for the duration of the war. It's astonishing, therefore, that when the Army asked for Japanese to volunteer for service, that so many did, and served so heroically. The 442nd Regiment, composed almost entirely of Japanese-Americans, fought in Europe and were the most highly decorated unit in American history. As an interesting side-note, Japanese in Hawaii were not interned, even though Hawaii was far more densely populated with Japanese, and there were virtually no acts of sabotage or espionage among Japanese or Japanese-Americans.
Ten weeks after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs Executive Order 9066, authorizing the removal of any or all people from military areas "as deemed necessary or desirable." The military in turn defined the entire West Coast, home to the majority of Americans of Japanese ancestry or citizenship, as a military area. By June, more than 110,000 Japanese Americans were relocated to remote internment camps built by the U.S. military in scattered locations around the country. For the next two and a half years, many of these Japanese Americans endured extremely difficult living conditions and poor treatment by their military guards. On December 17, 1944, U.S. Major General Henry C. Pratt issued Public Proclamation No. 21, declaring that, effective January 2, 1945, Japanese-American "evacuees" from the West Coast could return to their homes. During the course of World War II, 10 Americans were convicted of spying for Japan, but not one of them was of Japanese ancestry. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed a bill to recompense each surviving internee with a tax-free check for $20,000 and an apology from the U.S. government.

For their safety they were removed from their homes to internment camps
The USA was worried about the Japanese-Americans on the coast supplying Japanese with information and helping the Japanese attack the USA in any way. So the USA put the Japanese-Americans in internment camps.
Japanese-Americans living on the US west coast were sent to internment camps. Those living elsewhere in the 48-states and in Hawaii were free to work and move about but were generally under suspicion and were often discriminated against by others.
Japanese Americans living on the west coast of the US were interned for the duration of the war. There was mass hysteria about their supposed lack of loyalty. Strangely enough Japanese Americans in the Hawaiian Islands were not interred.
During World War II, Japanese Americans were rounded up and sent to internment camps primarily because of fear and racism fueled by the Pearl Harbor attack by Japan. The US government viewed Japanese Americans as potential threats to national security, leading to their forced removal and incarceration.
After the event of Pearl Harbor, Americans felt threatened by the Japanese-Americans. The Americans thought the Japanese-Americans on the East coast had contact with their kind in Japan and that they should cut that conact. They immedietly started moving all Japanese-Americans to interment camps all over, but left them the choice of either going to the camps, or going to Japan. Not many moved back to Japan, feeling defient and angry. The Japanese-Americans lived in their camp for under ten years, and then where allowed to leave.
They realized the Japanese-Americans did not pose any kind of threat.
Japanese internment camps sprung up during World War Two. These camps relocated 110,000 Japanese Americans on the West Coast. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was a factor in the development of these camps.
