During and immediately following World War II Ellis Island was used to intern German merchant mariners and enemy aliens-American civilians or immigrants detained for fear of spying, sabotage, etc.
Some 7, 000 Germans, Italians and Japanese would be detained at Ellis Island.
It was also a processing center for returning sick or wounded U. S. soldiers, and a Coast Guard training base.
Ellis Island still managed to process tens of thousands of immigrants a year during this time, but many fewer than the hundreds of thousands a year who arrived before the war.
After the war immigration rapidly returned to earlier levels.
