Japanese, German, and Italians were all interned under the Alien Enemies Act.

True but they were overwhelmingly Japanese. It appears about 11K Germans and 2K Italians were interned compared to over 110K Japanese, despite there being significantly more Germans and Italians living in the US.

It's not terribly surprising when you consider that Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, whereas Germany and Italy did considerably less damage on US soil.
