    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.
