The battle over the meaning of “the people” in the Second Amendment just got a big update. In a unanimous 3-0 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ruled this week that illegal aliens have no constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
This landmark case—United States v. Carbajal-Flores—was brought after Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, a Mexican citizen unlawfully in the U.S., was arrested for firing a pistol in Chicago during the 2020 riots. He argued that the Second Amendment protected his right to carry a gun for self-defense.
