When traditional law enforcement fails to the point that the rule of law completely breaks down, vigilantism becomes defensible.

ICE has the legal authority to arrest without warrants in many cases. I don't like it, but this is the flipsides of decades of insisting that illegal immigration isn't a crime and illegal immigrants aren't criminals.

pretty hard to argue that the rule of law as completely broken down in the US

yeah, you're probably right about that though I think it's more "some" cases than "many" (they can't enter your house to search for someone without a warrant); due process still holds though
