    It’s somewhat tricky, it refers to ‘the people’ or ‘persons’, but some things don’t make sense if you apply it to non-citizens. There’s been cases to establish how it applies in regards to specific amendments, but I haven’t heard of something coming up that definitively established whether that applies for the right to assemble.

      The first amendment says “Congress shall make no law / abridging the freedom of speech.”

      Who speaks is not a factor.
