Is the US seriously considering making Muslim internment camps base on the model of Japanese Internment Camps of WW2?

Carl Higbie introduced this goal for a Trump presidency.

He is a Trump surrogate and the spokesperson for a super PAC.

He shared this with Megan Kelly's Fox News Show on Fox Network. She was visibly taken aback.

What have we learned from history?
George Takai of Star Trek called it one of our country's shame and that Ronald Reagan apologized to Japan for the incarceration of innocent people and bypassing the Justice Sustem of the Unoted States.

I wasn't really taking the "Whiting" of America seriously but this is embarrassing for our country.
This bypasses constitutional rights of citizens of the US?
How could this possibly be defended?

A registry of Muslims has been publicly discussed, denied, and discussed more.

I think a prominent Trump supporter or two have invoked the idea of the internment camps, but it's not something that's been a publicly stated policy position by the incoming administration.

Horrifying that we're even talking about this. I do believe it's a real risk.

You mean, other than the President Elect, personally, discussing it as an option, in several speeches and interviews?

Did Trump actually talk about internment camps for Muslims? I thought he hadn't; just a register. When was this?

@TyphoidJerry: I did not say internment camps. I'm talking about a Register, which is what he suggested.
