There is no easy answer for this, however, I'll do the best I can.

At the time following the Attack on Pearl Harbor (Dec. 7, 1941), fear ran strong in America. The U.S. Government decided it was best to place all Japanese-Americans into Relocation Camps in the Southwestern United States.

Executive Order 9066, issued by FDR, mandated this policy. One of the most notable camps in the Southwest was located in Poston, Arizona along the Colorado River.

What US policies violated the constitutional rights of citizens during World War 2?

The US policy to intern the Japanese Americans (Canadians did too) was unconstitutional. They did not release them even after the US Supreme Court determined it was unconstitutional for the US Government to set of the internment camps, take the Japanese Americans from their homes. They took their homes and businesses too and that was illegal. Some Japanese Americans have received paltry reparations for their illegal internment.


Why was Japanese interred during World War 1 and not Germans or Italians?

Japanese were interned in WW2 not WW1. German & Austria-Hungarian citizens were interned in WW1. German & Italian citizens were interned in WW2. It is a common international practice to intern the citizens of enemy nations during times of war. The real question was if American citizens of Japanese ancestry (or Japanese citizens with US 'green cards') should be interned by the American government because of the threat of disloyality. The US government believed that the Japanese-American population was more likely to be disloyal than the German-American or Italian-American population. Also these others were much too large to intern.
