I started this with a link on remembering the Japanese Internment during WWII, but it morphed into a post including the Muslim Ban since some lawmakers alluded to it and thought it was a good idea, which obviously is abhorrent. So you can skip to the end for the protests on the Muslim Ban or consider the Japanese Internment along with it.

in World War II Does Not Provide a Legal Cover for a Muslim Registry

Korematsu Reflects on Internment, Executive Orders
So a few times Trump and supporters
have evoked the Japanese internment when talking about the Muslim
registry for barring them from entering and casting suspicion and
inviting hate crimes for citizens. Remember these?
A top Trump supporter favorably cites
Japanese internment camps. Here we go again.

Roanoke Mayor David Bowers (D) on Wednesday described his objection to housing Syrian refugees in his city in part by noting that President Franklin Roosevelt "felt compelled to sequester Japanese foreign nationals after the bombing of Pearl Harbor."

“But this time, their recollections were resonant not only because of the recent anniversary of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, but also because of Mr. Trump’s evocation of the post-attack internments to justify his call, after the killing of 14 people in San Bernardino, Calif., for excluding Muslims from America.”
Then Dec 15, 2016, it came up again in
response to barring immigrants from entering, assuming people fleeing
a war zone to be violent and our already stringent vetting not
sufficient, so that we need extreme vetting AKA a religious test for
entering the country on VISA and for immigration.

And the executive order or Muslim Ban
signed by Trump upon entering office in Jan 2017, drew the same
criticism:
A lesson from America's Japanese
internment camps
Comic relief by those in the community:
Nothing likely came of this, but it was
one item in the firestorm of opposition to the Muslim Ban:
