The points in your post are irrelevant. I don't think so. Relocation was for citizens and couldn't easily be repeated but alien detention in time of hostilities is accepted under international law. What there is of international law, that is.

American citizens were rounded up and sent to camps without due process. If you think it was Constitutional you are in company with the anti-Semite, Catholic hating, KKK Justice Hugo Black who wrote the majority opinion in Korematsu v. United States.

My point wasn’t to “justify” it. It was to show the revisionist double standard that the US is held to in this matter. We are the sole bad guys. Well us and the Nazis who relocated people to the ghettos and then death camps.
The Ruskies get a pass on sending their people to the gulags. FDR had a VP who visited the gulags and was ok with it.
