No, as far as I know they were just interned.  But they lost 
everything they couldn't bring with them in a few suitcases, 
including homes and land.  Many of them had very successful 
truck farms in California's San Joaquin Valley.  That is 
still pretty atrocious IMO.

And when I fear, fair creature of an hour,
        That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in thy faery power
        Of unreflecting love!-then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
        Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.

from When I Have Fears, John Keats
