> And are you also going to suggest that the Constitution does not protect foreign nationals inside the US?

I thought it was settled constitutional law that it doesn't? Moreover, during the war on terror, it was established that the president can freely order the murder of non Americans outside the US.

Not even remotely. Citizens may be granted additional protections from some things, but the Constitution applies to all persons inside the US.

Might apply to people outside of US too, given that Maduro is being tried in NY for drug and firearm charges while never having set foot in US before.

The courts, all the way to the top, have consistently interpreted the Constitution as a document that circumscribes the behavior of the government, not as a document that grants privileges to "the people" or a subset of that (e.g. citizens only).
