Soon after the US went to war with Japan, President Roosevelt issued an executive order to round up Japanese in the US , including Japanese American citizens and put them into internment camps. I do not think they had to do any walking, but in Canada, which also interred Japanese, some of them may have had to walk to a camp or work on road crews.
