In the UK a lot of "enemy aliens" where also interned. Quite a few got shipped to Australia. I believe some of them got killed by being torpedoed. A lot of those deported had originally come to the UK as refugees from the Nazis, some where Jewish.
During the first Gulf War a lot of Arabs got interned on the basis of lists supplied by the security services. Those lists where later found to be completely out of date and inaccurate.

Wholesale internment has almost always turned out to be a bad idea. In Northern Ireland internment is believed to have been a substantial boost to the IRA and loyalist terrorist organisations in terms of recruitment publicity and in the actual camps training.

>The internment of at Japanese and Japanese Americans living in the United States during World War II involved such individuals that lived near the West Coast only. One series of documents I read defined a limit of 26 miles from the coast, another all of the San Francisco Bay Area, parts of Los Angeles, and all of San Diego, as being under the order of removal. The Western portions of Oregon and Washington were also included. Hawaii, and basically the rest of the nation were excluded. As an example if you lived in Provo, Utah or Chicago, the order did not apply to you. I mentioned those two places as two of my friends who were of Japanese ancestry came from those locations.

>The entire episode involving Japanese internment shows the paranoid and resultant reaction of our democracy under stress. It singled out one group and was popular with the majority.

>>I think sometimes people forget about the Japanese-Americans who were placed in "internment" camps in WWII. Now that a pretty rapid deterioration of civil liberties!

>>>In a radio (not Rush Limbaugh) show this morning I heard someone remark that the U.S. has changed radically since the time that President FDR said 'the only thing we have to fear is fear itself'.
>>>
>>>The speaker remarked that President Bush's whole strategy today vis-a-vis the war on terrorism is based wholly, specifically and only on fear itself.
>>>
>>>The speaker then went on to discuss how this is leading to the rapid deterioration of civil liberties upon which the U.S. is built and the diminishment of respect for the U.S. around the world, in the process demonstrating the accuracy of President Roosevelt's statement.
>>>
>>>I thought the consideration of FDR's statement in today's context was smart.
