The Aleuts who were 'rescued' from proximity to Japanese occupation (You didn't know the Japanese actually seized US territory did you? The westernmost, or rather easternmost since it's beyond the IDL, habitable island in the Aleutians, Attu, was occupied by the Japanese in 1942) didn't fare any better than those interned for potential disloyalty: they were disposessed of their villages (which were torched and had their churches used for artillery practice by the US military) and were forced to live in abandoned fish canneries 'for the duration'. Many died of pneumonia.
