Ah, that constitution must explain why we never see people being abducted in broad daylight by goon squads in the US, right? Because anything that clearly violates the constitution would obviously never happen there. Because you're the best country. The greatest.

For reference, the EU does have an equivalent norm: https://fra.europa.eu/en/eu-charter/article/7-respect-privat...

I'm not sure if the 4th amendment applies to deportation of non-citizens, and secondly you would have to take it to supreme court to find out.

In comparison to the US constitution, EU "norms" might as well be toilet paper. For example, they have some notion of "free expression" which sounds like free speech but is defined to be so weak as to be useless. The european public broadly does not seem to care, they certainly aren't willing to kill for their rights.

Leaving aside everything else wrong with it: in the absence of due process, that can happen to citizens too.
