I don’t think that lawful execution of perfectly normal people intimates dignity.
I’m fine with calling it both, by the way. It was a murder committed by an ICE officer, and it was an execution committed by the state, whom the officer represents. The state is executing people.
While it may be illegal under the letter of the law the government has acted to justify and normalize this action as a perfectly legal action.
Unless the government changes their statements we have to accept that DHS personal are allowed to kill Americans with total impunity. Those are executions.
The dignity?
Execution intimates order of law.
This was a murder.
