    I figure that payment records is the closest we can get to due process. ICE wears masks to avoid retribution, and many of their victims will be killed to ensure their silence. Maybe someone smarter than me can figure out a better way to track ICE membership, but I can’t think of it.

      Yeah but the point of due process (especially since you specifically mentioned executions), is to make sure beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the person did the thing they’re accused of.

      Otherwise, you make mistakes and you kill innocent people. Due process includes gathering the evidence you mentioned, but then also making sure that it’s real and valid and not just someone who didn’t like their neighbor so reported them or what have you

        There are no innocent employees collecting checks from DHS.

          What an idiotic, reductionist take.

          The vast majority of people who work there are apolitical bureaucrats just trying to make ends meet.

              100% depends on what their position in the agency is. For sure. That’s why I called it reductionist. They’re not all fascists, and not all of them are involved in fascist activity.
