Well its pretty standard to round up all persons who are from the country you are at war with.

As for Americans of Japanese desent in the Pacific, yes we had a few working in Intel, and as what would be called Phsy Ops today. They used them on Guam, Saipan, Tinian and Guam if I recall correctly.

As for the Germans and Italians. Well we did have a few German Sabatuers who were caught and imprisoned or executed, as well as some others who did get interned.

Remember the German American Bund had a considerable following. I recall they even had a rally at Madison Square Gardens to a near sell out crowd. And a good number of them did return to Germany to fight for them when they started doing the 1940 European tour.
