        The second sentence of the Wikipedia article literally says about 2/3 were American citizens.

        The section on ‘Exclusion, removal, and detention’ says “[s]omewhere between 110,000 and 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry were subject to this mass exclusion program, of whom about 80,000 Nisei (second generation) and Sansei (third generation) were U.S. citizens.”
