Why on earth would you want to prosecute the supermarket where ICE buys loo roll? The builders merchant who sold them fence posts?
I mean, the hyperbole is real here - because there's zero chance the international courts prosecute any US citizen - but if they did it's not going to be the people who sold them spreadsheet software.

In mafiya/organized crime, (serial) murder cases it's common to prosecute knowing supporters as "aiding in criminal activities". The supermarket cashier selling loo rolls to the ICE may not be a "knowing supporter", but the fence post seller certainly is. As for the people involved: there won't be justice, not as long as the US has nukes and refuses any international control.
