Question: how well armed were those loyal Japanese-Americans who were rounded up and imprisoned?

Thought so.

Would you offer the same defense of Dearborn Muslims should they be rounded up?

LOL!

What do you think would have happened had the Japanese-Americans of the time used armed force to resist internment? Thus confirming in the minds of all other Americans that they were disloyal and bent on armed subversion of the government?>

Can you say mass mob attacks, probably backed up by local National Guard and military units?

While there is certainly a place for armed resistance to government over-reach, there are also (many) times where this particular tactic would simply make things much worse.
