Justice Department and U.S. Army Internment Camps and Detention Stations in the U.S. during World War II

1Names of the INS camps vary somewhat depending on what source is consulted; no one reference lists them all.

3Old Raton Ranch Camp, New Mexico, is sometimes confused with nearby Fort Stanton, and one government document refers to it as "Old Raton Ranch Camp, Fort Stanton, NM," "[Inventory of] Records of the Immigration and Naturalization Service," "Part III, "Records of Enemy Alien Internment Facilities," October 11, 1989, no. 306, p. 71, NARA I. However, Clark, "Those Other Camps," 69, clearly states that "Old Raton Ranch Camp [was] near [emphasis added] Fort Stanton."
