it's not an "accident" if you randomly round up people based on nothing, then exile them to a foreign slave prison, it was a deliberate series of steps to terrify these people and everyone else.

Yup. The whole setup is built around taking away legal recourse from people so they can be mistreated. It's Guantanamo squared. Also derived from the UK's failed Rwanda scheme (failed because they couldn't bypass the courts enough!), Windrush errors, and the Australian government's use of immigration detention on Nauru.

Accidents like this are required in order to demonstrate the scale of the "will" behind the power. This should be a un-ignorable reminder of the value of due process. Better a guilty person go free than an innocent person sent to their long, slow, undignified death.

The system is not designed for such massive load in mind.
