Why were the japanese imprisoned in the US in world war 2?

The Japanese Americans were not imprisoned, per se. They were put into internment camps until the war was over, because the American Government didn't know if they could trust them. It was not until the war was almost over that they were freed when the Supreme Court ruled this action unconstitutional toward US citizens.


Why did the US imprison Japanese Americans?

Because they were a different race. We were also at war with Germany and Italy, but German and Italian-Americans weren't imprisoned. (alternate answer) During WW II, when the US was at war with Imperial Japan, it was feared that Japanese Americans would be more loyal to their ethnic group, the Japanese, than they were to the country in which they were living, America, hence they might become saboteurs (or as they would be called today, terrorists). Note that there was no evidence for this fear, and the internment of the Japanese Americans is today recognized as a terrible injustice.
