  • Fourth Amendment due process;
  • Fourteenth Amendment protections of citizenship rights;
  • the Immigration and Nationality Act;
  • laws intended to protect the civil liberties, civil rights, or human rights of persons lawfully admitted into the United States or natural born or naturalized U.S. citizens; or
  • the impact on individuals based upon race, religion, ethnicity, place of birth or residence, gender, sexual orientation and identity, age, or statuses that pose no undue health threat to the general population.
