I don't think it is blatantly "illegal" per se. Government can seize your assets for a number of reasons, including for tax evasion. But it is just a very bad executive order and I don't think congress can do much about this. It will have to go to the Supreme Court, that despite being populated with supposedly "coservative" judges, has shown less regards for personal property or liberty in recent years than I'd like. In any event, it is unknown when the issue will be resolved by them. First the government will have to seize the assets of someone. Then we'd have to hope that person is not kept incognito in gitmo or somewhere else and will actually fight the claim. Then we'll go through all the government shenanigans and delay tactics. Then if all else fails and it looks like the government is about to lose, they will withdraw just so that the case will not set a precedent.
