Supreme Court Denies Challenge to Illegal Alien Gun Ban
By Cam Edwards | 2:30 PM | November 24, 2025
The Supreme Court has turned away a challenge to the federal statute prohibiting illegal aliens from possessing firearms, but did not take action on two other cert petitions dealing with gun bans for those convicted of crimes punishable by more than a year in prison.
The Court denied cert, without comment, to Carbajal-Flores v. United States in its orders list released on Monday morning. That case, along with Vincent v. Bondi and Duarte v. U.S., were all heard during the justice's conference last Thursday.
In Carbajal-Flores, the Court was asked to consider whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5)(A), which prohibits firearm possession by all "unlawfully present noncitizens", was unconstitutional in all respects or, if not, whether the "government must demonstrate that the individual is dangerous before disarmament is permissible."
