Tule Lake, in northern California, was one of the most infamous of the internment camps. Prisoners there held frequent demonstrations and strikes, demanding their rights under the U.S. Constitution. As a result, it was made a "segregation camp," and internees from other camps who had refused to take the loyalty oath or had caused disturbances were sent to Tule Lake. At its peak, Tule Lake held 18,789 internees. Tule Lake was also one of the last camps to be closed, staying open until March 20, 1946.
At the Topaz internment camp in Utah, where Japanese-Americans were forcibly relocated during World War II, there were a total of 11 recorded deaths.

During the Japanese American internment during World War II, it is estimated that around 1,800 internees died while in camp. The majority of these deaths were due to health-related issues, including diseases and inadequate medical care. However, no deaths were directly attributed to violence or mistreatment by camp authorities. The internment experience had profound and lasting effects on the Japanese American community.
