FDR included Japanese-American citizens when he interned the Japanese in 1942. The Supreme Court upheld the internments as legal.

I'm not criticizing what occurred with the Japanese during WWII; it's understandable (from U.S. security point of view); from their point of view, however, U.S. Citizens of Japanese descent, were locked up.....for this I am sorry that BECAUSE o their ethnicity, they were "imprisoned." Having said that, I do not know what else could have been done.....we certainly couldn't not have posted guards in every neighborhood where people of "suspicion" lived.
