At its peak, there were 8.5 million members of the Nazi party. Less than 7000 Nazis ever faced convictions for their actions.
Just in case you thought we lived in some fairy tale world where evil people always see consequences for their actions, rather than the real world we live in where the overwhelming majority of them don't.
The most likely outcome is that ICE agents are going to live long lives, with upper-middle, or even lower-upper, class incomes and pensions, and will never lose a moment of sleep over what they do.
Joining ICE isn't joining the Republican party. Joining ICE is joining the SS. But still, you're right, the vast majority will go unpunished.
You're not wrong, but I think their point is that once the trials start, these people never know if they're going to get away with it or not until they die.
Exactly. The prosecutions of people in their 90s were mostly low-level guards in concentration camps. So there is no comfort in knowing you were just a rank-and-file ICE agent. And it's not like they can argue they don't know what they're doing is wrong. If you're covering your face while working in law enforcement, you know damn well what you're doing is morally unforgivable. These people are not going to be able to plead ignorance. They know what they're doing is wrong.
And they need to feel fear every day of their lives. Just like the people they are terrorizing now, they need to live in fear that any day, a knock on their door might come that will tear their whole live apart. They need to know the fear they took so much glee in instilling in others.
