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.
Outside of certain expedited removal proceedings, they are not allowed to deport someone without them having at least one hearing. But they're allowed to grab someone without any hearing, just like you can be arrested without a hearing or a warrant, as long as the officer has probable cause.
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.
Massive difference. Trump's case was a criminal indictment. The case in the scenario you describe would be a civil proceeding under election laws. Those election laws have enormously shortened time frames (for obvious reasons), and the courts nearly always expedite resolution of election law disputes when the identity of the winner is at issue.
