Federal Court Ruling Grants Undocumented Immigrants Right to Bear Arms

A US federal court in Illinois has ruled that undocumented immigrants have the right to possess firearms, creating a direct conflict with existing federal law. This decision, handed down recently, stems from the case of an undocumented immigrant arrested for firearm possession. The court argued that the Second Amendment's right to bear arms applies to all persons within the US, regardless of immigration status. "The Second Amendment protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms," stated the judge in the Illinois case. However, federal law explicitly prohibits undocumented immigrants from owning guns. This ruling is expected to spark significant debate and legal challenges, raising questions about the scope of the Second Amendment and immigration laws. The outcome could reshape gun control and immigration policies in the United States.
