Internment camps were controversial primarily because they involved the forced relocation and detention of individuals, often based on their ethnicity or nationality, without due process. This practice, particularly during World War II when Japanese Americans were interned in the U.S., raised significant concerns about civil liberties and human rights violations. Critics argued that these actions were rooted in racial prejudice and fear rather than legitimate security threats, leading to long-lasting consequences for the affected communities. The legacy of internment camps continues to prompt discussions about government overreach and the protection of minority rights.
