Doesn't matter. If you're in the country without legal authorization, you're subject to detention at any time. ICE doesn't have to wait until you have your hearing. Particularly since it's almost certain that your hearing is over procedural matters stemming from your unauthorized presence in the country, which will be de facto probable cause for your detention.

I must not have made myself clear: the scenario is ICE grabbing and deporting someone, without the person in question having any hearing at all, totally denied legal due process.

The litigation wouldn't be tied up for two years. Election challenges are always handled expeditiously by the courts.

Indictments in Trump's election interference case in Georgia were issued in August 2023, nearly 3 years after the election, for "conspiracy to commit election fraud", among other issues. I don't see much daylight between what Trump did, and obstructing brown people's voting at the polls.
