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.
The story of Tule Lake during World War 2 is a tragic part of US history. It mars the wonderfulness of Americans. Thousands of Japanese were interned at Tule Lake. I live near this place. I have been there. It is a very harsh place with high winds, freezing weather and snow in a desert location. The Sierra's tall mountains overshadow the place. Please read the story of this camp on the attached link. Thank you.

One example of a loyalty pledge occurred with the Japanese Americans on the west coast. Nearly all persons of Japanese ancestry had been forcibly moved from their homes, farms, and jobs to detention camps at Tule Lake, Manzanar, and several other spots. After about a year, the men in detention were given the opportunity to leave the camps if they pledged loyalty to the United States and offered to help the United States in the war effort. Men of draft age were required to sign up for the draft. Most Japanese-American men had few issues with the pledge and wanted out of the awful camps. People at one or two of the camps objected to their treatment and initially refused to sign the pledge, feeling it was unjust. Loyalty pledges were also used for recent German and Italian immigrants, but not with the consistency or consequences forced on the Japanese Americans.

Re-location camps in California were quality constructed and in areas that were away from large cities. Today those areas are vacation spots. The camps were kept very clean, quiet, and organized by the inhabitants. They turned into small communities, making the best of a bad situation. The only hardships, other than the fact that they were forced there, was the weather; snow, ice, extreme cold in the Tule Lake region.
Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge was created in 1928.
