Answer 1

During World War II, the US government sent people of Japanese ancestry to internment camps primarily based on whether they lived in an exclusion zone. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the US government deemed individuals of Japanese descent as potential security risks, especially those living along the West Coast, and implemented forced relocation and internment measures regardless of their citizenship or how long they had lived in the United States.
