Protection under US laws to non-citizens including 5th amendment applies only if you are physically on US soil (excluding space before immigration at port of entry). So if you are non-citizen US house owner living in foreign country, it would be tricky to file lawsuit seeking such protection.

Tricky to win, but this would be more like a global sanction than a tax, semantics at this point

I think we could accomplish it but not at a local or state level
