Supreme Court limits Cuba travel prosecutions in broad ruling
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that a generally valid passport holder cannot be criminally prosecuted for traveling to Cuba without government authorization. It upheld authority to bar certain countries, but travel to those states without specific authorization may not be criminal. Justice Fortas noted travel restrictions aim to guide passport use, not criminalize lack of authorization. The decision overturns prior government claims that travel to Cuba without authorization was a crime.
