ICE’s detention centers care nothing for humans
March 14’s New York Times has a two-page spread picturing plans for an 8,500-occupant detainment center in Social Circle, Ga.,to handle ICE-captures. “At over 1 million square feet, it would be larger than any single jail or prison building in America.” A sickening possibility. Human ingenuity used for this? Business profit made like this?
Details: two-thirds used for pods and one-third for administration. First-floor layout shows 5,000 people in 80 pods. One hour daily recreation in small space. The density of detainees (prisoners there unwillingly) will “need a huge amount of ventilation,” an architect told the Times. Experts said “at least some interior walls should be solid.” Department of Homeland Security’s recent structures with chain-link fence walls let outbreaks of measles and COVID spread.
Social Circle construction will start “as early as mid-May,” taking 60 to 75 days. Anyone in this inhumane scheme claim a conscience? Anyone in this shameful scheme show love to family and friends? Every World War II movie about Hitler’s cooperative Germans comes to mind. A new 2026 Swedish documentary, “The Swedish Connection,” about a diplomat who quietly saves thousands of Jewish lives from death camps, is on Netflix and reflects on our U.S. now. Watch it.
