    Take this with a grain of salt, considering the actions of the current administration…

    But the US Constitution doesn’t make that many distinctions between citizens and non-citizens, especially in the bill of rights, where most individual protections are laid out. The 4th amendment protects you from unwarranted search and seizure, and makes no restrictions based on nationality.

    There are some “exceptions” to the 4th amendment, but those specifically have to do with protecting the borders and inspecting imports and exports. IMHO, those exceptions should be unconstitutional, but I’m not a bought and paid for SC justice, so fuck my opinion.
