There was a fear in America that amongst the Japanese Americans there could be spies and saboteurs.
internment camps
I think you are referring to the WWII Japanese internment camps. After Pearl Harbor, it was thought that Japanese-American citizens could not be trusted, so they were rounded up and forced to live at various "camps" around the U.S. until the war was over. See the Related Links below.
POW camps for the Japanese, but NOT in the Pacific. In the United States itself were POW camps held. They were for the Japanese whom were deemed spies for the Japanese government.
A little over 100,000 Japanese were held in internment camps.

because we thought that they could have been spy's so we held them there until we figured out what to do.
Japanese Americans were held in internment camps during World War II due to widespread fears and suspicions following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The U.S. government, driven by racial prejudice and national security concerns, viewed Japanese Americans as potential spies or saboteurs despite the lack of evidence. This led to the forced relocation and incarceration of around 120,000 individuals, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens, in camps across the country. The internment is now recognized as a grave injustice and violation of civil rights.
Japanese Americans were forced to sell or abandon their homes, businesses, and possessions before being sent to internment camps during World War II. They were also required to report to assembly centers where they were temporarily held before being transported to the camps.
A little over 100,000 Japanese were held in internment camps.
Both the US and Canadian governments excluded those of Japanese ancestry from the areas of the Pacific coast. In many cases they were interned in isolated camps for up to three years during World War II. While not concentration camps, they were definitely not comfortable for the internees, most of whom were American citizens although the children of Japanese immigrants.
