Answer:

West Coast of the United States

Explanation:

In 1942 the War Department demanded that all enemy nationals be removed from war zones on the West Coast. On February 19, 1942, Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 which set up designated military areas "from which any or all persons may be excluded." The most controversial part of the order included American born children and youth who had dual U.S. and Japanese citizenship. Germans and Italians were not interned, as shown from the Korematsu v. the United States case.
