In that all the surrounding context of the 5th amendment have to do with criminal matters and the law, and this does not fall under the law. If you disagree, then again, I would ask to what law, you are referring to.
Does it though? The amendment states that "no person shall ... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law". To me that implies that it requires due process of law to deprive a person of life, liberty, or property, not that the amendment only applies to matters of law.
In this case, there was no due process of law in order to revoke Acosta's press pass. This is what the judge ultimately ruled, that because the Trump administration couldn't give a sufficient reason for revoking the press pass, it was unconstitutional. The judge didn't rule that the Trump administration can't revoke press passes, only that they can't revoke them for no reason
