Interned Germans were mostly German citizens. From your link: "During WWII, the United States detained at least 11,000 ethnic Germans, overwhelmingly German nationals [...] The government examined the cases of German nationals individually"
OTOH for Japanese: "The scale of the incarceration in proportion to the size of the Japanese American population far surpassed similar measures undertaken against German and Italian Americans who numbered in the millions and of whom some thousands were interned, most of these non-citizens. [...] A key member of the Western Defense Command, Colonel Karl Bendetsen, went so far as to say “I am determined that if they have "one drop of Japanese blood in them, they must go to camp.""
