What has the US done that is similar to the Nazi concentration camps?

During World War II, after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and the US declared war with Japan, the US sent Japanese-Americans to internment camps. The US did thisin order to prevent any Japanese-Americans from being able to support the Japanese during the war.Theese internment camps, unlike Nazi concentration camps, did not mass murder their inhabitants, and they had much better conditions than the Nazi camps, but they were similar to the Nazi concentration camps in other ways:The people sent there were sent there based on their race, not on any crimes they had committedThe people's homes and belongings were confiscated and they were forced to go to the camps without warningThe people's belongings were not returned to them when they were freed from the camps (although the US did later pay these Japanese-Americans some compensation).
