True, but that's not what the accords were doing. Arguably you could claim they were a bill of attainder. Since it basically just sentences her to house arrest without a trial.

Well it'd be like if the US government passed a law saying: "all people named Britney Spears must immediately be put into a conservatorship." Which would be illegal because the Constitution bans Bills of Attainder.

You could phrase it as a law regulating everyone who has telekinetic powers, which is probably what they did

Even that is probably too specific. It's blatantly illegal to put people in detention if it's not part of a criminal process. What they would probably have to do is make using powers illegal. Then wait to catch her doing that. Then jail her pending trial.

I won't naively say it never happens [See Korematsu]. But look at the Muslim ban. It took 5 attempts over 3 years before it was legal and that was much less targeted than a ban targeting 3 people would be.

True, but on the other hand "having telekinetic powers" is an objectively serious threat to everyone around her that "being Japanese" or "being Muslim" is not (Which is why I've always disliked the X-Men as a metaphor for racism)

Right, it seems really obvious, from a dispassionate point of view, that the Lagos incident was an accident that should be classified at worst as reckless use of force - Wanda has no reason to *intentionally* kill civilian bystanders

But, well, lots of people really really don't like her and are afraid of what she represents and she's got some heinous shit on her rap sheet - the Hulk's rampage on Johannesburg in Age of Ultron is 100% her fault, no input from Ultron Charges would be pretty easy to trump up

I mean she's objectively a terrorist. Irl, whatever deal she would have signed for amnesty when she became an Avenger probably wouldn't have covered all of her crimes. That way if she got on the wrong side of the government they could detain her without too much trouble.
