United States DC Circuit


Emergency Coalition to Defend Educ. Travel v. U.S. Dep't of the Treasury, 07-5317

In a suit challenging the Office of Foreign Asset Control's amendments to regulations governing educational travel to Cuba, dismissal of all claims is affirmed where: 1) at least one plaintiff had standing to challenge the regulations, and there was therefore appellate jurisdiction; but 2) the travel restrictions were content-neutral and did not violate plaintiffs-professors' First Amendment rights; and 3) there was no violation of plaintiffs' Fifth Amendment right to travel internationally.
