Internment camps in the SW United States
Asian Americans
The Japanese were kept in internment camps during World War II because many Americans feared that they would betray the US to Japan.
they were put into camps were they had to live away from public for safety reason as the USA were paranoid of other attacks. They were not treated badly in these camp but just kept away from the publicThey were put in internment camps because the government thought there were spies. Only those Japanese and Americans of Japanese descent who lived on the West Coast of the United States were interned. The Japanese and Americans of Japanese descent in Hawaii were not incarcerated!

The Japanese Internment camps were so difficult because the Japanese people being kept there were American citizens. They weren't treated especially harshly, but the fact that Americans were being kept against their will was disturbing
Japanese internment camps were set up in the USA in WW2 to contain Japanese Americans. An obvious con of the camps were that they infringed on the rights of innocent American citizens. A pro is that they kept non Japanese Americans from panicking.
During World War 2, many Japanese-Americans were put into internment camps or "War Relocation Camps". Many of them were only allowed to take the clothes on their backs or had to pack so quickly that they were unprepared for life in the internment camps.Many of them lost irreplaceable personal property, due to restrictions on what they could take into the camp and to theft and destruction of items that were placed in storage.Many of them lost their property or their tenant farms, or had to sell their farms within a few days at a low price.The Japanese were moved to high security surveillance camps where they were tracked constantly and kept away from the outside world for the American government feared that they were spies.
Probably Japanese-Americans. Although they were in almost all cases totally loyal to the United States, public sentiment was against them. The U.S. government even rounded them up and put them in internment camps during the war, even though there was no evidence they had been disloyal. Yet despite being kept in camps (where conditions were not the best) and regarded with suspicion by average Americans, many Japanese-Americans volunteered to fight for the United States during the war and performed admirably.
No, the allied forces kept most of them. The worked with Japan to resolve their lack of natural resources problem instead.
Many were punished for the actions of the few. A few Japanese Americans sabotaged a tanker filled with gasoline by adding paraffin. This kept a number of American airplanes from having sufficient gasoline to defend the Philippines and caused the PT boats from having enough fuel. It greatly assisted the Japanese conquest of the Philippines. That led to panic. It made the rest of the country wonder what other acts of sabotage the Japanese would perform. German Americans and Italian Americans in general did not have such ties to the mother country. They especially did not want to risk getting shipped back home!
african Americans would be kept segregated and serve mainly in non-combat units
Many many airports around the world were kept open during 9/11.
