Interesting, do you have a cite?
It doesn't look like Japanese internment was under the auspices of the Alien Control program, because [0] refers to, "By the end of the war, over 31,000 suspected enemy aliens and their families, including a few Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany, had been interned at Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) internment camps and military facilities throughout the United States."
Whereas I think >100,000 Japanese were incarcerated.

- dragonwriter 3y ago> It doesn't look like Japanese internment was under the auspices of the Alien Control program The internment of Americans of Japanese descent was under the auspices of the War Relocation Authority: unlike the internment of citizens of Germany, Italy, and other enemy states, which was based on status as enemy aliens (hence “Alien Control Program”), not ancestry. The somewhat sloppy common reference to the former as “Japanese" internment makes the two different programs seem more similar than they were.
