Both the Japanese and their descendants with American citizenship were removed by the United States government from some states on the west coast, including California. This was due to Japanese Americans being a so-called security risk. They were a so-called security risk because of others questioning their loyalty to the United states of America. Some Japan Americans were able to leave the designated removal zones before the military started to remove people. But others weren't able to leave these designated removal zones and ended up being put into internment camps first. The people who were seen as the biggest security risk were heads of Japanese American communities in the west coast area.After the attack on Pearl Harbor tensions rose between the Japanese and there descendants that had American citizenship. Tensions and distrust rose up between Americans and Japanese Americans at this time which included Korea and Manchuria citizens, this was due to the fact that they were both apart of the Japanese empire at that time. The governance of Korean and Manchuria were handed back by the Japanese government at the conclusion of world war 2.

During this time, the Japanese Americans were taken out of the western costal states and moved in land to camps that where hastily constructed to house the Japanese American population. They were moved to camps in Arkansas, Idaho, Utah, Californian, Arizona, Colorado, and Wyoming. There were a total of 10 internment camps in all. Hawaii, however, did not evacuate its Japanese American population because their inhabitance were mostly Japanese Americans and they were an integral part of their economy at the time. The governor of Hawaii didn't see the Japanese American as a security risk and that it wasn't in Hawaii's best interest to imprison a lot it work force. The Japanese American made up a large portion of Hawaii's population at the time of World War II.
The Japanese American internment camps were opened from 1942 - 1945. During World War II there were about 120,000 Japanese American citizens incarcerated. After the war ended there was an investigation into the internment of the Japanese American population and it was concluded by this study, done by the U.S. government, that they could not find a security risk due to the high number of Japanese American living on the west coast of the United States. The end result was that they concluded the internment of the Japanese American population was because of a perceived threat.
