During World War II, Fort Missoula was turned over to the Department of Justice, Immigration and Naturalization Service, for use as an Alien Detention Center. Between 1941 and 1944, the ADC held 1,200 non-military Italian men, 1,000 Japanese resident aliens, 23 German resident aliens, and 123 Japanese Latin and South Americans.
It was established to hold foreign nationals and resident aliens. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese communities were raided, and men were taken into custody to be tried in “Loyalty Hearings.”. Fort Missoula Alien Detention Camp held 2200 Italian and Japanese detainees throughout the time it was opened.
