Pay attention to the legal authorities cited and the argument that the right to travel is not absolute. Excerpt:

" . . . the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized that
the right to travel abroad is not an absolute right and that ``no
government interest is more compelling than the security of the
Nation.'' Haig v. Agee, 453 U.S. 280, 307 (1981). The Supreme Court
also has stated that the government may place reasonable restrictions
on the right to travel in order to protect this compelling interest.
See id. (reminding that the ``right'' of international travel can be
regulated within the bounds of due process); see also Eunique v.
Powell, 302 F. 3d 971, 974 (9th Cir. 2002) (Fernandez, J.); Hutchins v.
District of Columbia, 188 F. 3d 531, 537 (DC Cir. 1999)."
