The Aleut were involuntarily relocated because their safety was threatened by an imminent Japanese invasion. This was different from the forced detention of Japanese Americans, who were incarcerated primarily due to racial prejudice and concerns about their loyalty to the United States during World War II. The Aleut people were removed from their homes and placed in internment camps to protect them from the potential danger of being caught in the crossfire of a Japanese invasion of the Aleutian Islands. On the other hand, Japanese Americans were rounded up and incarcerated regardless of their loyalty or potential threat they posed, solely based on their Japanese ancestry.
