[El Blanco]

". . .nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

What is considered due process?

"The Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United States. . ."

See, it doesn't belong to to United States, it belongs to the citizen. It is US terrirtory, but that is different from property.
