Just curious...since he was not prohibited from leaving the USA and violated regs upon re-entry is there a civil rights violation relative to freedom of travel? And his freedom of religion wasn't violated on US soil either.

Don't get me wrong, I think this guy is getting the DHS shaft big time and I hope he prevails.
