The United States Government noted:
This Court concluded that Heller invalidated the defendant’s attempt to extend the protections of the Second Amendment to illegal aliens who are not citizens or members of the political community. Portillo-Munoz, 643 F.3d at 440. As this Court stated, “aliens who enter or remain in this country illegally and without authorization are not Americans as that word is commonly understood.” … Indeed, this Court noted that “the Supreme Court has long held that Congress has the authority to make laws governing the conduct of aliens that would be unconstitutional if made to apply to citizens.”
On the topic of “illegal aliens” and firearms, the U.S. Government observed: “Nothing in Rahimi undermines this Court’s reasoning. To the contrary, the Supreme Court in Rahimi emphasized what its prior precedents observed: the Second Amendment extends to ‘ordinary citizens.’”
