"The fact itself" , in the ablative absolute construction, implying instrumentality, by means fact itself. From the dictionary:
ipso facto (îp´so fàk´to) adverb
By the fact itself; by that very fact: An alien, ipso facto, has no right to a U.S. passport.
[New Latin ipso facto : Latin ipso, ablative of ipse, itself + Latin facto, ablative of factum, fact.]
