Whether illegal immigrants have the right to keep and bear arms is a question now up for the Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.
The case USA v Heriberto Carbajal-Flores centers around Flores’ arrest in Chicago for having a firearm. Representing the federal government, Margaret Steindorf said Flores’ immigration status is important.
Representing Flores, Jacob Briskman said rights granted to “the people” aren’t relegated to only a few amendments in the Bill of Rights.
Briskman said his client has U.S. Citizen children and a U.S. Citizen wife. The appeals court took the case under advisements.
