Should the U. S. government have ordered the internment of Japanese Americans? Does the fear of espionage or sabotage justify depriving American citizens of their rights?

1. The internment of Japanese Americans was a move that was should have not happened. It was a move very similar to what were the aggressors of the World War II doing, and the United States were fighting against it, so it made no sense for them to act in that manner. The Japanese citizens were innocent, and they were targeted because of their ethnic background, which makes a racist action against people because of their ancestry and appearance.

2. The Americans did have big fears of the Japanese Americans that they might perform sabotage and espionage for the Empire of Japan, but the fear of something doesn't mean that the people should suffer. There was not a single evidence that the Japanese Americans had any collaboration with the Empire of Japan, but instead they were Americanized, cared for their current nation, and the safety of their families and friends. Considering that, the US acted against the human rights protocols, as it put people in concentration camps because of its fears, even though there was not a single evidence about what they feared.
