Kaspersky Lab Sues Trump Administration Over Software Ban (reuters.com)

Moscow-based anti-virus company Kaspersky Lab sued the Trump administration in U.S. federal court on Monday, arguing that the American government has deprived it of due process rights by banning its software from U.S. government agencies. From a report: The lawsuit is the latest effort by Kaspersky Lab to push back on allegations that the company is vulnerable to Kremlin influence. The Department of Homeland Security in September issued a directive to U.S. civilian agencies ordering them to remove Kaspersky Lab from their computer networks within 90 days. The order came amid mounting concern among U.S. officials that the software could enable Russian espionage and threaten national security. The ban was codified last week when President Donald Trump signed legislation banning Kasperky Lab from use across civilian and military agencies.

Only Americans have rights to anything, due process included.

You are not correct in this assertion.

Only rights guaranteed to "the people" are exclusively applicable to American citizens.
Rights guaranteed to "persons" belong to everyone.

To make it clearer, would it be legal to hold a slave if that slave is not an American citizen?
