Actually, German Americans were interred also, here's one quick link:

detained domestically after 9-11 and those captured in Afghanistan. Now
I agree that some of those probably do deserve to be detained, so let's
see the scoop and have public debate on the reasons, and let those who
we can't articulate a sufficient reason free.

Of course you are right, there are numerous other political detainees.
