This is civil forfeiture. Innocent until proven guilty has no application. At best, there is a procedural due process issue. Generally, you're entitled to a hearing pre-deprivation for forfeitures, but there are exceptions where giving a pre-deprivation hearing (as opposed to a post-deprivation hearing, as would probably be the case here) would allow fraud or avoiding justice of some sort. Like someone who was planning violence in Iraq could transfer their funds overseas before the Treasury could put a hold on the assets, for example.
