Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, anti-Japanese politicians and writers suggested that a credible threat of espionage and sabotage existed, and convinced President Franklin D Roosevelt that people of Japanese descent presented a threat to the military security of Hawaii and of the US west coast. He issued an executive order, and more than one hundred thousand people were forcibly relocated to the "War Relocation Camps". It is now widely held that this was a huge mistake, based largely on racial bigotry; and in 1988 Congress passed legislation apologizing on behalf of the US government. Even at the time, many Americans protested that the process was wrong. FBI Director J Edgar Hoover, a staunch defender of US security, opposed the internment following exhaustive investigations; and US Justice Department officials reported at the time that the justifications were based on "willful historical inaccuracies and intentional falsehoods."
Act of March 21, 1942, 56 Stat. 173, 18 USCA 97a ruled the Japanese had to go to internment camps. They started rounding up and ruining the lives of the Japanese throughout 1942. They were put into about 12 different internment camps around the country. The Canadians did the same thing to the Japanese there and most of their people were interned in British Columbia. They did it at the same time as the Americans. See related links below.
