They couldn’t have sent them to internment camps they would be in planes, Americans were probably too paranoid for that.

They were actually mostly left alone. They made up a larger part of the population on Hawaii, so I guess the US government decided it would be detrimental to Hawaii’s economy to move them.
There were five internment camps in Hawaii, referred to as “Hawaiian Island Detention Camps”. But many of them were not sent to a camp since Japanese-Americans made about 35 % of Hawaii population.
