US routinely uses passport revocation to punish its political enemies
Freedom to travel is a fundamental and internationally recognized human right. Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) states:
Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state. Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.
Congress ratified the UDHR on April 2, 1992. But it’s now having second thoughts.
The “right to travel” makes some politicians very nervous. Consider the issue from their viewpoint. Leaving the country makes it more difficult to detain you if the Feds suspect you of a crime, such aswithdrawing lawfully earned cash from your bank account. It’s also less convenient to surveil you if your political opinions don’t toe the party line. And above all, it’s harder for Big Brother to grab your assets.

it should be very obvious to everyone by now who Our government works for..and its not us...had enough yet? they take little bites!get the foot in the proverbial door! then slam it shut!! look at the anti smoking lobby for instance. I'm not a smoker but from what I see: first it was secondhand smoke indoors, now is prerequisite to getting a job. The flag, back lives matters, illegal immigration, Social Security, Obamacare, christians rights, gun rights, homeland security. All traps plans of deception, lies, subversion, and treason. Take your pick of fronts our constitution is under attack
