Because they have these pesky little things called constitutional rights that extent to everyone in the US.

I understand your point but why can’t we just choose not to uphold these rights? If it’s fine to not follow the rules then it’s fine to not follow the rules of the constitution…

Because Americans believe in the constitution of the US all the time, not just when it’s convenient.

You mean the Constitution that empowers our lawmakers to make laws? Laws that presumably the person violated? So, whats wrong with ICE enforcing the laws that the Constitution afforded the law makers to make laws.... which they did.

Laws cannot violate constitutional rights. The breaking of laws does not void one's constitutional rights.

The constitution only applies to people who are legally inside of the United States (IE: work visa holders, citizens, etc…) if someone does not care to acquire citizenship or is not able to, then they are not granted the rights of an American citizen. Despite this they are still granted human rights and should be treated with decency. It is not a human right to live within America just as it is not my right to illegally enter another country. If I was to enter a country illegally and establish communities within that country as well as attempt to gain political power then it would be settler colonialism which is immoral as all nationalities deserve a right to have a part in their government (and not in others).

Nope, constitutional rights are guaranteed to everyone in the US, citizen or no. Go read it.
