Answered by GPT-4o mini
The most accurate statement regarding the impact of the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II is:

**It violated the civil rights of thousands of American citizens.**

The internment involved the forced relocation and incarceration of around 120,000 Japanese-Americans, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens, without any evidence of espionage or disloyalty. This action is now widely recognized as a violation of civil rights and is considered a dark chapter in American history.
