The right to travel has been recognized as a fundamental Constitutional right under the Privileges and Immunities Clause since 1823. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedo...w#Restrictions

No Constitutional right is absolute, but when one is considered "fundamental" (such as the right to bear arms) the ability of law enforcement to intervene or regulate the right is severealy limited, whether the protected right is claimed by the majority or the minority at any given time.
