This Day in American History

On this day in 1944, representatives of the US Army announce the end of excluding Japanese-Americans from the West Coast and Japanese-Americans begin to be released from detention camps in many of the western states. If you've read some of the intercepts of Japanese codes to operatives here in the states, the deportation of Japanese-Americans seems a sad necessity to prevent sabotage rather than, as kids are taught today, a shameful, racist, unnecessary way to grab their property up and down the West Coast. I'm glad we made some reparations to the survivors in the 80s as well.

As I say, a sad necessity for which we owed reparations.

.....but never payed?

If it is a necessity, as you posit here, wouldn't it follow that all muslims, or at least foreign muslims should be stripped of their property and incarcerated just in case?

Please explain your position here.
