That's a lawsuit? I think you misunderstood my post.

No, I didn't. IAAL, and if I were local to the area I would be pleased to take his case under 42 USC § 1983 which allows people to sue government officials for being deprived of their civil rights (in this case freedom of religion and the right to travel) "under color of law." But he won't need a lawyer after the congresscritters get involved, that's my prediction.
