The US courts have since explicitly rejected the reasoning used to justify the internment of Japanese-American citizens. It would not be legally possible today.

So do it anyway, and then 12 months later, after everyone is released, maybe the Supreme Court says you can't do it.

I'm not sating that it is a good idea, just that judicial review doesn't seem particularly effective.
