In a 6-3 decision, SCOTUS upheld a ban of travel to Cuba in Zemel v. Rusk, 381 U.S 1 (1965). While recognizing it had previously held the right to travel is a liberty which cannot be abridged without due process, the Court said the necessity of the restriction can be the due process test, then finding the fears of Cuba spreading communism and revolution sufficient, stating”

“The right to travel within the United States is, of course, also constitutionally protected, cf. Edwards v. California, 314 U.S. 160. But that freedom does not mean that areas ravaged by flood, fire or pestilence cannot be quarantined when it can be demonstrated that unlimited travel to the area would directly and materially interfere with [p16] the safety and welfare of the area or the Nation as a whole. So it is with international travel. That the restriction which is challenged in this case is supported by the weightiest considerations of national security is perhaps best pointed up by recalling that the Cuban missile crisis of October, 1962, preceded the filing of appellant's complaint by less than two months.”

I think there is a good argument the current ban can be distinguished from the 1960s fears of Communism invading our shores and held unconstitutional in that it isn’t based on national security needs but is the attempt to use economic pressure to bring down a foreign leader and suck up to Cuban voters in Florida.

 

Fantastic.
