Yes it is true. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, President FDR issued Executive Order 9066 which lead to the relocation of thousands of Japanese-Americans to internment camps. Though not as harsh as concentration camps set up by the Germans, people died and living conditions were rough.

Yes, during World War II, Japanese Americans were forced to live in internment camps by the United States government. This was a result of Executive Order 9066, which was issued in 1942 following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Around 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens, were relocated to these camps.
