Can an alien be denied First Amendment First Amendment protections?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee v. Thornburgh, 970 F.2d 501 (9th Cir. 1992):

On the merits, the court determined that aliens are entitled to the same degree of first amendment protections as are citizens. Id. at 1082. Therefore, applying the test articulated in Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444, 89 S.Ct. 1827, 23 L.Ed.2d 430 (1969), the court held that the challenged statutory provisions were substantially overbroad under the first amendment because they penalized both protected and unprotected speech. 714 F.Supp. at 1082-84.
