True. You bring up another data point of similarity between ICE and Gestapo: they are/were both legal.

My issue isn't with just the legality, but with morality.


Similarly, the Holocaust was legal under German law, because the Führer willed it so.

Thus illustrating the potential gap between legal and moral.


The Führerprinzip mentioned here, by the way, is basically the same argument the conservative supreme court is making right now.

They call it Unitary executive theory in the States, but same idea.


Right it's just morally repugnant but it's legal so who cares.

You're correct, fascists will always make morally deplorable acts they wish to enforce with an iron fist legal. Thank you for pointing that out.
