Yes, but unless they are also a Citizen or Resident of the US, there are fewer tax benefits this year.

They would not qualify for the $500 dependent credit. However, there could be other benefits, such as claiming medical expenses for a dependent, increasing household size for the Premium Tax Credit, and possibly State deductions or benefits.
