Lynn Rudmin Chong: A Netflix movie that's a must-see in this polarizing time

To The Daily Sun,

March 14's New York Times has a two-page spread picturing plans for an 8,500-occupant detainment center to handle ICE-captures. Detainees totalling 8,500 could be held in Social Circle, Georgia.

"At over a 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."

"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 USA now. Watch it.
