The person isn't subject to the Constitution, the government is. Wherever, and with respect to whoever, it operates. If the US citizen is captured in the Sudan by the Sudanese government, they are subject to the Sudanese government. If they are captured by the US government (putting aside the idea of the US government capturing people in Sudan), they are subject to the US government, which is itself subject to the US Constitution, no matter where it is acting.
