U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman has ruled that an illegal immigrant’s Second Amendment rights were violated when he was charged with unlawfully possessing firearms.

The case involves Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, an undocumented immigrant charged under federal statute 18 U.S.C § 922, which prohibits illegal aliens from carrying guns or ammunition.

However, Judge Coleman determined that this law infringes upon Carbajal-Flores’ constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
