In the first, you talk about "restricting provisions" and in the second one, you talk about "regulating relations".
Safety first.
You're the one turning a spelling error into something...anything...to deflect from your discredited nonsense.
Of course it was largely political, many Californians wanted them out of agriculture and out of the state. The Daughters of the Golden West. and other organizations put pressure on Warren to lock em up. The San Francisco Chronicle warned of the Yellow Peril in headlines, and politicians knew there were votes there. Teddy Roosevelt had made a deal with Japan to restrict Japanese passports to America. The period is filled with those political moves.The Japanese-Americans spent a lot of time, and blood erasing the prejudice that had been directed at them in the prewar and war periods. I hope some simple whiners are not going to destroy any of those good feelings that the 442nd and others earned the hard way in erasing that prejudice. The country has apologized and admitted it was wrong, and most recognize that there were many wrongs committed in that period, and this is but one.
No, they were deprived of their constitutional rights and thrown into that scumbag FDR's concentration camps. Are you a US citizen? Are you up for the same treatment? You know, "for your own good."
Just the opposite.....it is the humanity, or lack of, of Franklin Roosevelt that is in question.

FDR’s abuse of civil rights: wiretapping for security was expanded to tap Republicans…and his wife, Eleanor!
The internment of 110,000 Japanese seems to have been largely political. Earl Warren of California was sensitive to his constituents resenting the large success of the Japanese in agriculture. And, interned, they couldn’t vote against FDR, and he did pick up three House seats…and after the election he began to move for the release of the Japanese.
SCOTUS Justices aren't allowed to change their mind when confronted with new information, when it favors a Democrat.
Why do Right-Wingers hate democracy?I watched episode #2 last night...didn't know TR got the Panama Canal built....I guess it never occurred to me.....I know who gave it away and that it's now being run by the fucking CHINESE....that would be Mr.Peanut.....now the second worst president in our history.
Germans and Italians aren't inscrutable.
The interment of Japanese-Americans and Roosevelt's failure to support the anti-lynching bills were big compromises in principal. I can understand his failure to support the anti-lynching bills. Had he spoke out in favor of it, he would not have got a single bill through Congress because southern democrats controlled all the important committees. However, Roosevelt followed the advice of advisers who were wrong about Japanese-Americans. He got most things right, but this wasn't one of them. Protection of Japanese-Americans was an after the fact justification.

When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and we are at war, what an opportunity for evil politics, our safety was at stake. FDR was political too.
But, glory be, most or much of that prejudice was wiped out by the 442nd. No whining, and doing probably the best possible act to reduce that long period of prejudice, fight for the United States. One battalion and one regiment and lots of casualties and bingo.
Well, lets just say the 442nd. wiped out prejudice for many, maybe not you, but for others. But I gotta admit your arguments are pretty overwhelming.
The series I concluded was wonderful in so many ways, in traditional Ken Burns style but according to this scholar, much was left out, that would have painted a different historical picture:
