Why were Japanese-Americans sent to internment camps in 1942? The FBI had proof that Japanese citizens were a possible threat to the US. The internment camps were for Japanese-Americans who sided with Japan’s invasion of China. The internment camps were the government’s response to the growing fear and hostility toward Japanese-Americans. The government planned on sending Japanese-Americans to Japan after the war.
