Thanks for providing an example. I find the that situation to be drastically different. It was noncitizen non-resident visiting for a lecture with no deep ties to the country. The US deported residents, green card holders and citizens with no hearing to countries they had no connection to and didn't speak the local language, including some in Africa.

An equal example in Europe would need the facts to be more similar

And a Swiss court decided that this was illegal and disproportionate [1]. Rule of law does not mean that nothing illegal happens in the country (that's obviously impossible to guarantee). It means illegal acts have consequences.

That distracts from the point in favor of what, in this context, is a detail.

There are always incidents in all democracies with millions of people, that contravene the expectations of rule of law and integrity of its systems.

The US has degenerated significantly in the past few years, to the point that when someone asks “can you give examples”, I expect a disingenuous ploy more than genuine ignorance. The list of breaches is so long, that listing it results in numbness and exhaustion of the mental muscles responsible for being aghast.
