For what seems like the first time in the history of Chicago, a judge has decided that they are NOT going to take away a person's guns.
An illegal alien's guns, that is.
From The Epoch Times:
A federal law, Section 922 of Title 18 of the U.S. Code, bars illegal immigrants from carrying guns or ammunition. Prosecutors charged Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, the illegal alien, in 2020 after he was found in Chicago carrying a semi-automatic pistol despite "knowing he was an alien illegally and unlawfully in the United States."
The man was specifically in Chicago's Little Village and the arrest occurred on June 1, 2020.
U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman rejected two motions to dismiss, but the third motion, based on a 2022 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, triggered the dismissal of the case on March 8.
"The noncitizen possession statute, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5), violates the Second Amendment as applied to Carbajal-Flores," Judge Coleman, appointed under President Barack Obama, wrote in her 8-page ruling.
"Thus, the court grants Carbajal-Flores' motion to dismiss."
American gun owners fight every day for our rights to carry firearms, but now federal judges are expanding that right to people who are not even legally allowed to be in the United States.
It still blows my mind that the arrest of an illegal alien doesn't just automatically qualify them for deportation. But the fact that we now have illegal immigrants with the "constitutionally protected" right to carry a weapon is insanity.
Why don't you just roll out the red carpet for the terrorists and cartels!
The problem isn't the universal right to self defense. The problem is the number of Chicagoans and other Americans who are denied that right while a lawbreaker from a foreign country is extended that right.
Understand me here: I have a concealed carry permit. I am a law-abiding, tax-paying citizen. It is illegal for me to carry in Chicago or all of Illinois, except in my car while I am passing through the state, because of numerous state- and city-level laws.
If I were to be caught on the streets of Chicago with my lawfully concealed weapon as recognized by the majority of US states, I would be thrown in prison. But illegal aliens have their cases dismissed.
They (the defendants lawyers) pointed to several rulings interpreting the Supreme Court's decision, including an appeals court ruling that declared stripping a man convicted of a nonviolent crime of his gun rights was unconstitutional.
Ironically, the government argued that this man shouldn't be allowed to keep guns, because gun control comes above flooding the nation with new voters on their priority list.
The government opposed the motion, noting that neither of the cited decisions applied to illegal immigrants and that the defendant ignored other rulings that did, including a 2023 ruling that found that Second Amendment rights aren't afforded to illegal immigrants. The government also offered examples of laws that prohibited certain categories of people from carrying guns, including "individuals who threatened the social order through their untrustworthy adherence to the rule of law."
But the Obama-appointed Coleman had other ideas.
Coleman ruled for the defendant, finding that the laws against untrustworthy people contained exceptions for people who signed loyalty oaths and were deemed nonviolent.
She wrote,
Carbajal-Flores has never been convicted of a felony, a violent crime, or a crime involving the use of a weapon. Even in the present case, Carbajal-Flores contends that he received and used the handgun solely for self-protection and protection of property during a time of documented civil unrest in the Spring of 2020.
Ah, so he gets a pass because he's not white and he was obviously afraid of all the white supremacy present during the BLM Summer of Love.
Additionally, Pretrial Service has confirmed that Carbajal-Flores has consistently adhered to and fulfilled all the stipulated conditions of his release, is gainfully employed, and has no new arrests or outstanding warrants.
Sounds nice.
But I wonder how Coleman would have ruled if Carbajal-Flores were a citizen.
I think you know the answer.
