The Constitution guarantees that "no person" shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. This protection applies to both citizens and non-citizens, including those who are undocumented. I suspect Trump and his henchmen are disappearing non-citizens to offshore sites so they can later argue these individuals are not protected by the Due Process Clause because they are not "in the United States."
