Very interesting post.
I was recently at a fort in New Mexico where they interned German POWs during WWII. One of the comments was that it was pretty nice and they had been concerned because internment in the USA during WWI could be fine or very harsh, depending on the camp.
This seems to bear that out.
It didn’t even have walls. (It did have about 100 miles of near impassible desert around it.)
Thanks. I had never heard of this issue before. I suppose because it was white people having problems, no one cares to put it in history books.
Do you know the name of the fort in New Mexico? I travel/work at White Sands missile range several times a year.

Every time I fly to California and can look out the window, I am reminded that there is a whole lot of nothing in the American Southwest. It’s pretty from the air, but I wouldn’t want to have to eke out an existence there.
