The UK has had these type of laws for a long time , seem to remember quite a few folks were "interned/internal exile" to the IOM just because of thier nationality and the leader of a political party and his wife were held in Holloway jail for about 3 years with no charges being brought, just on suspicion .

Also seem to remember that thousands of wives and children were taken into 'protective' custody (1st use of concentration camps) during the Boer 'wars' , so its not a new thing , just the British way of doing things
