U.S. Finally Closes Last Internment Camp - Asylum | For All Mankind
Although the government finally admitted that "racism" was the reason most of the Japanese internments occurred (there were others in camps, Germans, Italians, most POWs) and they were recompensed for the hardship to a degree, there were many who were not. These were ethnic Japanese citizens of 17 other countries who were removed from mostly Latin America who were placed in internments camps in the US, primarily I thought I read in Texas. They were never recompensed a nickel. I also read there were some kept at Ellis Island perhaps at Angel Island, the entry ports of immigration on the East and West coasts respectively.
