The Japanese Americans were sent to the relocation camps because the Americans suspected that there were spies in that particular group.
During WW2 the Japanese fought for the Axis Factians agains the Allies (US, Britain). So there was mass paranoia that Japanese Americans may be spies sent into America in preperation for the war.

The Nisei were second generation Japanese Americans, born in the United States to Japanese parents. They were subject to pervasive discrimination and internment during World War II.
