Actually, several. The most commonly referred to as being interred would have been Japanese Americans during WWII. Some Germans were detained during WWI and WWII. And, lest we forget, the Native Americans have been held on reservations for about 150 years--the term "concentration camp" generally refers to the relocation and death camps of Nazi Germany during WWII; Hitler actually borrowed the American idea of NA reservations, and actually called the first camps reservations when they were first opened.

Which group of American citizens were locked up by the US government in relocation camps during World War 2?
120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry were taken away of their homes, belongings and everything they had worked for but told to pack up and leave. They were put in detention centres and camps in 1941 after Pearl Harbor and didn't get out till the end of the war 1944-45. There was also a small number of Americans of German and Italian ancestry that were locked up but not as long as the Japs and not as many. The reason for locking them up was because they said they were the enemy and saying that a 'Jap is a Jap'. The media created these negative stereotypes.
