These were Peruvian citizens and immigrants of Japanese descent. There is actually now a sizable such community in Peru. In fact, a former President/Dictator of Peru was Alberto Fujimori.
The US thought these Peruvians were a threat and so pressure was applied on Peru by the US to turn them over. They were interned, much like Japanese Americans were.
