"In law, internment can only apply to aliens. During World War II, in the United States, internment was individual and presumably based on something the individual had done... Each person interned had the right to an individual hearing, which, in some instances resulted in release. Although the later mass incarcerations are referred to as 'internment's,' that is not really the appropriate term" -Daniels
