Yes but no at the same time. yes because they are still people but are just suspects, but no because they were or are terrorism's.

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, just like U.S. citizens, terrorists should be given a fair trial in federal courts No, they are not U.S. citizens and do not have constitutional rights

No, they need to prove they have no terrorist ties and mean our country no harm before given any constitutional rights

  Deletedanswered…4yrs4Y

They are not U.S. citizens and do not have constitutional rights but they should be tried in military tribunals and not subject to torture

 @8M28H5Vanswered…4yrs4Y

I don’t think they should have constitutional rights, but torture is wrong.

 @8MNYGHJanswered…4yrs4Y

a person convicted of terrorism should be punished by the laws of the place they live and the country the crime was committed in

 @gabehwknsanswered…4yrs4Y

An international human rights law should be established to address this

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

If a government can strip rights from certain people, could that power ever be misused against its own citizens?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Could denying constitutional rights to suspects set a precedent that erodes freedoms for others in the future?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Why might some people argue that everyone should be afforded legal rights, regardless of their actions or nationality?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

In a situation where national security is at stake, how should a government balance individual rights with collective safety?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How might giving constitutional rights to foreign terrorism suspects affect a country's international reputation?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How would you feel if a foreign country detained one of your countrymen without recognizable legal rights?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

What do you think defines a fair trial, and should that standard vary depending on the accused's nationality?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Can a country maintain its moral high ground if it treats certain prisoners differently based on their nationality?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Is safety more important than human rights when dealing with individuals suspected of terrorism?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Should the potential consequences of a suspect's alleged actions affect the rights they are granted during legal proceedings?

 @9334YP3answered…3yrs3Y

As non-citizens they should not be given any constitutional rights that only apply to citizens, but they should be retain any constitutional rights that apply to non-citizens to the same extent as domestic terrorism suspects would.

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only after proper investigation and background checks, and they are found not guilty and/or if they passed the standards to have the rights.

 @8VLZM3Zanswered…3yrs3Y

 @heatherdvdprincessanswered…3yrs3Y

No, they are not U.S. citizens and do not have constitutional rights, but they should not be subject to torture. We should do what one successful info-getter did by befriending the prisoners, going on walks with them, and soon these soldiers who were trained to withstand torture were sharing secret info by accident.

 @8CS4GM7answered…4yrs4Y

Human rights, yes. Constitutional rights, not necessarily. Any person should be given a fair trial and should not be held indefinitely in an extrajudicial fashion.

 @8DD853J from Georgia  answered…4yrs4Y

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

It depends on any circumstances. If someone is claimed to be a terrorist but there is no visible evidence to suggest that they have been conspiring a terrorist act, then they should have constitutional rights. If, however, they pose a significant threat to our country and have clear evidence of conspiring a terrorist act, they should not have constitutional rights.

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, after proper investigation and background checks, just to be sure that the foreigner won't go destroying our country. But only if they are found not guilty and/or if they passed the standards to have the rights.

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only if they are found not guilty and/or if they passed the standards to have the rights after proper investigation and background checks, and just ensure that the foreigner won't go destroying our country.

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only after proper investigation and background checks, and if they are found not guilty and/or if they passed the standards to have the rights.

 @558YLXVanswered…3yrs3Y

Foreign terrorism suspects should not be subject to unusual or cruel punishments; they should be held for a very short time, then be released or tried by an appropriate court (either by the US or the nation in which they were captured). No one should be held in indefinite incarceration with no recourse.

 @4PRKPMGanswered…4yrs4Y

Assuming they're in captivity, yes. They are still terrorists and the extension of our constitutional rights should be revoked if necessary.

 @8Q8RMYM from Kentucky  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, until proven guilty even though they may not be citizens, they should be seen fairly unless proven to have ties with terrorist organizations.

 @8QMD4XF from California  answered…4yrs4Y

If they are just suspects yes but if there is actual proof that they were apart of terrorism or participated in it then no.

 @8F5MHGJ from Wisconsin  answered…4yrs4Y

I would not say so given they aren't citizens, I think the government could keep a close eye on those individuals.

 @92MDVFR from Georgia  answered…3yrs3Y

How flexible is the term suspect? If government agencies find the alleged with incriminating contraband, then no, they shouldn't have extensive legal opportunities. They should be afforded a fair trial, but appeals should be eliminated. Also, the penalties should fit the crime.

 @7SKBHSL from Wisconsin  answered…4yrs4Y

No, if they're proven to be terrorists. if they're proven not to be, then yes

 @8FSK5JG from Wisconsin  answered…4yrs4Y

yes and no, They are not U.S citizens but should be treated as a human being. just because they are different doesn't mean they aren't human

 @8ZZTH4H from Minnesota  answered…3yrs3Y

They should have no Constitutional rights intel they are proven not guilty.

 @8ZK5Q3Q from Michigan  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, unless they were actually convicted of the crime, then no they shouldn't be given rights.

 @8DDBV2C from Georgia  answered…4yrs4Y

 @BaylorBlum from Mississippi  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8LSR6G3 from Idaho  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but only if they are registered citizens of the U.S., and if not give them back to their country for their country to take care of them on their country grounds.

 @8TVYZQL from Georgia  answered…3yrs3Y

No, but they should be given human rights and treated fairly based on how much they are suspected of terrorism.

 @3868DQWanswered…4yrs4Y

If they are in the United States, they should be. If they are in a foreign country, they should be given the rights of that country. We cannot force our laws outside of our jurisdiction and we need to work together with foreign governments to ensure both of our safety.

 @7GVHRDR from Nevada  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, Constitutional rights are inherent human rights. There should be no difference

 @85QWNPG from Colorado  answered…4yrs4Y

No, they aren’t U.S. Citizens and don’t have constitutional rights, and if we were to make every criminal captured into one, it would become a leading incentive for terorrist groups.

 @8BYVY6B from North Carolina  answered…4yrs4Y

Human rights apply to EVERYbody, therefore they should be treated equally like everyone else

 @85QWNPG from Colorado  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, while not citizens, they should be given the bare minimum of geneva rights when under our custody, even abroad.

 @8C9PN2M from Tennessee  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8CQ7HBG from South Carolina  answered…4yrs4Y

They should be given a trial but they also should be tortured to get information.

 @8558FRW from Utah  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8CY5FJV from California  answered…4yrs4Y

  @RickStewart from Iowa  answered…3yrs3Y

When Congress declares war, the rules of war should apply to enemy combatants. Foreign terrorism suspects will evaporate when we stop fighting undeclared wars.

 @8DPS4HQ from Wisconsin  answered…4yrs4Y

  @8DN4WYN from Pennsylvania  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes we should set examples and not be like them. Coincidentally the war on terror has lasted 20 years...if no one other than me has noticed.

 @8DNCRM7 from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

it depends on if they are just being suspected/accused without rightful evidence or if they have actual evidence

 @8DQKM4N from Massachusetts  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8FC86NP from North Carolina  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8FSLGMY from New York  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8FQVQFP from New York  answered…4yrs4Y

although they have done wrong things, they should be given a chance since they are human and have rights. if they fail the second chance, take them into custody. in the end, they would be walking on very thin ice with america.

 @riddlecongress from Connecticut  answered…4yrs4Y

No, they are not U.S. citizens and do not have constitutional rights. They should be treated as terrorist war criminals and held to the international standard in dealing with international criminals.

 @8GKG6BP from Iowa  answered…4yrs4Y

They should be treated as human beings, but have limited constitutional rights as they are not citizens.

 @8GJ3NJZanswered…4yrs4Y

Suspects must be given a fair trial until found guilty to prevent harming the wrongly accused.

 @8GJ3NJZanswered…4yrs4Y

Suspects must be given a fair trial until found guilty to prevent harming wrongly accused.

  @2020AaronJames from Tennessee  answered…4yrs4Y

Our constitutional rights exists because that is how we believe human beings should be treated.

 @8HCSLFD from Missouri  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8HJ4B4M from Montana  answered…4yrs4Y

If they are not a citizen they should not be given constitutional rights but as a human being they should not be tortured or treated as a animal.

 @8HJXS4T from New Jersey  answered…4yrs4Y

I DON'T KNOW if they were only suspected because of their nationality then yeah, give them their rights! But like if there was a legit reason then Idk be just a little cautious? not racist! Cautious.

 @8HTZGH7 from Pennsylvania  answered…4yrs4Y

Until they are proven to be terrorists, they should be treated equally like all other people.

 @8JFQYRZ from Pennsylvania  answered…4yrs4Y

They should be tried civilly or at the very least not tortured unless they have information that they are not willing to give up that could save lives but in moderation.

 @8JNGTQF from Tennessee  answered…4yrs4Y

everyone deserves free trail before being accused of any thing ,no matter what it is.

 @8JK96GY from California  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8JMVLDF from New York  answered…4yrs4Y

They should be tried in Military Tribunals but not subject to torture, unless required.

 @8JPLPJ2 from California  answered…4yrs4Y

Give them a fair trial and they should still be protected under constitutional rights(that are applicable) however they should not be subjected to torture.

 @8JWX9SX from California  answered…4yrs4Y

If they are in America or somewhere where our constitutional rights are in effect, they should have constitutional rights

 @8KCZFTR from New Jersey  answered…4yrs4Y

Not if they do not have citizenship or are not planning to become a citizen

 @8KLLCKT from Oklahoma  answered…4yrs4Y

They should still have their basic human rights, if we’re going to be the ones putting them to justice it should at least be by our own rules.

 @8L2DQDJ from Pennsylvania  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8LJ78V9answered…4yrs4Y

No, they should not be given constitutional rights but they should not be subject to torture at the hands of the government or military.

 @8LJD4FT from Colorado  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8LZKM6Tanswered…4yrs4Y

They should be held accountable as war prisoners and treated as such. UCMJ.

 @8M9RLHZ from Illinois  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8MR6SHM from Illinois  answered…4yrs4Y

No, because if they are a suspect of murdering people or planning anything, they should be sent right to prison.

 @8MW5FBX from New York  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, though not equivalent to U.S. citizens, they deserve a fair and impartial trial.

 @8NRNL6B from New York  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes they should be able to have rights. Just limited rights because they aren´t citzens.

 @8NXSCW2 from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, if they are established U.S citizens or are already in the process of establishing citizenship.
