No; read any commentary on the verse. The verse is referring almost exclusively to foreigners, hence why they were to be given refuge in any town within Israel. Notice also that it echoes other verses with similar instructions: "When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them" (Leviticus 19:33, NIV).
