P1 If X was legally mandated then that is good evidence that X is necessary.
P2 Slavery was legally mandated (in the USA)
C1 There is good evidence slavery is necessary.
P3 [insert other silly/abhorrent thing here: ICE in general, state murder...] was legally mandated.
C2 There is good evidence silly/abhorrent thing is necessary.
Personally I'd reject P1, the law isn't an arbitrator of mortality, or truth. Due to C2 I'd side eye anyone who says it is.
