Nations have commonly interned enemy aliens, e.g. P.G. Wodehouse. However, one hell of a lot of the "Japanese" interned were in fact native-born citizens.
My German-born great-grandparents were not molested by the government during WW I, though there was harassment of Germans and German-speakers. And in WW II the US had admirals and generals with names like Nimitz, Eisenhower, Eichelberger, Gerow.
