That is why ICE is problematic, because they deliberately try to avoid being identified. At some point, we have to choose: do we allow many members of ICE live because of their duplicity, or do we remove them from society, despite not having much information?

It isn't a great situation. That is why collecting records is important, so that we can obtain a reasonable justice. After having an answer of "Did they serve ICE?" of yes or no, it becomes possible to indict ICE as a class of war criminal. ICE certainly wouldn't even bother to check for citizenship before sending children abroad without parents, court orders, nor consent, so it is reasonable to have a relatively low standard for whether ICE staff should die. They are effectively genocidal traffickers by choice, and at some point, the restraint of mercy becomes foolishness.

The evil of ICE is corrosive like that, it affects everyone in their vicinity. Unfortunately, an end to a civil war where ICE is allowed to live, just means that they get to continue corroding our humanity decades after, as would their families in the centuries to come. It is better to commit the evil of execution against ICE, in order to prevent their evil by choice from growing strong in the garden of our society.

I agree. I just think we need to be careful about calling for foregoing due process.

Due process is also important in order to make sure that the person's punishment sticks (not execution as that one obviously sticks). Because you might not care about the rule of law, but the next guy might. Or the judge ruling over the person's appeal might.

You might not allow them to appeal, but whoever comes next might, and if you didn't do shit right, they can have all of the charges thrown out. And possibly, rightfully so.
