Use of the word "internment" is changing in some usages including this one. On April 22,2022, The Associated Press edited its entry for Japanese internment to include the following wording: Though internment has been applied historically to all detainments of Japanese Americans and Japanese nationals during World War II, the broader use of the term is inaccurate—about two-thirds of those who were relocated US citizens and thus could not be considered interns—and many Japanese-Americans find it objectionable.

It is better to say that they were incarcerated or detained and to define the larger event as the incarceration of Japanese Americans.
