Ho hum.

How many North Vietnamese were brought to prison camps in the US? How many
North Koreans?

You've also had prison camps for Americans before (e.g. Japanese Americans
& earlier Native Americans).

Native Americans were certainly subject to "Military Commissions"
along with blankets laced with smallpox however I take it you're not
thinking of re-introducing that.
