A stain on U.S. history, how many Japanese-Americans were rounded up in internment camps during WWII?

Due to the attack on Santa Barbara and the West Coast invasion scare, President Roosevelt issued an executive order to establish Japanese internment camps. From 1942 to 1945, 120,000 Japanese-Americans were rounded up and isolated in the United States. But, unsurprisingly, many Japanese-Americans were loyal to their country, with 17,000 Japanese-Americans signing up to serve America in WWII.
