A liberal Illinois federal judge has ruled that an illegal immigrant was
wrongly banned from possessing a firearm.

US District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman, an Obama appointee, ruled
earlier this month that an illegal migrant residing in the US had his
2nd Amendment rights violated when he was charged for possession of a
weapon.

Heriberto Carbajal-Flores was charged by prosecutors under US Code 18 §
922, which prohibits illegal immigrants from carrying guns or ammunition.

In her ruling, the judge with a liberal track record wrote: 'The
noncitizen possession statute, 18 USC § 922(g)(5), violates the Second
Amendment as applied to Carbajal-Flores.

'Thus, the court grants Carbajal-Flores’ motion to dismiss.'

Carbajal-Flores' defense team posed the argument that the government
could not show that 18 USC § 922(g)(5) was 'part of the historical
tradition that delimits the outer bounds of the right to keep and bear
arms.'

In 2022, the Supreme Court ruled that government prosecutors must be
able to show that regulations are 'consistent with this nation’s
historical tradition of firearm regulation.'

The defense's argument was enough to persuade Coleman the charges should
be dismissed.

'Lifetime disarmament of an individual based on alienage or nationality
alone does not have roots in the history and tradition of the United
States,' said attorneys for Carbajal-Flores.

Coleman acknowledges, in her ruling, that Carbajal-Flores is a
'noncitizen,' though she shied away from any harsher language.

'The court notes, however, that Carbajal-Flores has never been convicted
of a felony, a violent crime, or a crime involving the use of a weapon,'
she wrote.

'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,' she
added, likely referring to the riots that swept the country in the wake
of the killing of George Floyd.

The ruling has inspired a plethora of responses across the legal
community, including some Second Amendment absolutists who say 'the
people' referred to by the Framers in the amendment include those in the
country illegally.

It could also be cited in other states as they try to make the same
argument, allowing more illegal migrants the right to carry guns.

Coleman has presided over a number of high-profile cases in Illinois,
including a ruling in February 2014 that allowed same-sex couples to
marry in the state.

The ruling went into effect in June of that year, two years before the
Supreme Court legalized same-sex unions in all 50 states.

Her ruling comes as the Biden administration struggles immensely with
illegal migration into the country, and is facing extra heat from the
public and political class in the wake of the murder of Georgia college
student Laken Riley by an illegal immigrant.

Several other illegal migrants have been arrested in recent weeks for
crimes including the sexual assault of an underaged individual.

The arrests come as thousands pour across the southern border each day
and show few signs of slowing down.

Recently, the administration admitted to flying 320,000 illegal migrants
into the US to reduce the number of visible border crossers currently
terrorizing border towns across the southern United States.

Customs and Border Protection has refused to disclose crucial
information about a program last year arranging flights for thousands of
undocumented immigrants from foreign airports directly to US cities.

The revelation came after a controversy over a 2022 transportation
program in which the administration used taxpayer's money to move
migrants throughout the country on discrete overnight flights.

The program was part of Biden's expansion of the CBP One app, which
kicked off at the start of last year.

Migrants were able, under Biden's expansion, to apply for asylum using
the app from their home countries.

But the Center for Immigration Studies notes the transportation of these
migrants directly to the US is one of the lesser known uses of the app.

Aliens who cannot legally enter the US use CBP One to apply for travel
authorization and temporary humanitarian release from those airports.

President Joe Biden expanded the CBP One app to allow aliens to apply
for asylum from their home countries – and then secretly fly them to US
airports from foreign ones

The US is also expected to be grappling with more than 8 million asylum
seekers and migrants who will have crossed over the southern border by
September.

The staggering figure represents a 167 percent surge in five years and
underscores the challenges faced by what is both an underfunded and
antiquated immigration system.

The vast majority of the 8 million are now free to roam US streets,
including 2 million 'high-priority' cases of career criminals seeking
asylum.

The system appears to be struggling to cope with the rapid numbers of
migrants flowing across the border, which reached an all-time high of
302,000 monthly crossings in December.

The backlog has left millions of migrants who are currently residing in
the U.S., unsure of whether they will be permitted to stay or simply be
deported.

Migrants who cross the border may often be forced to wait several years
for a decision to be made in their applications. In the meantime, they
have been released to American streets.

Recent data suggests the backlog has only swelled during President Joe
Biden's term in part reflecting the difficulties his administration has
faced in addressing the unprecedented influx of migrants, mainly from
Central and South America.

At the end of fiscal year 2023 on September 30, more than 6 million
people were recorded on what officials term the 'non-detained docket.'

Government projections, as communicated in Homeland Security documents
sent to Congress, suggest the number will have risen to 8 million by
October 1.
