If you read the cited page it seems to apply this only to those
entering the country. Unfortunately, the cited page does not
mention the EO number so we could read it for ourselves.

Not at all. Your position seems to be evolving from "constitutionally
questionable" to "only at the border".

Most people would read the cited page as being that the federal and state
governments have the right to quarantine people who are a medical risk to
society, there's plenty of law and executive procedure to support that right and
that the CDC can ask certain police agencies to help enforce this right in the
course of their normal duties (ie - Border Control).

Given that there were US Marshalls posted outside the slugs room in Atlanta and
other security in place in Denver, one suspects your opinion is not widely held.

The relatively recent history of the polio quarantines bears that out.

It's not clear that he could be banned from travel, legally.


As a US citizen, he is bound by US law regardless of where he happens to
be.
Depending on when the CDC had issued the mandatory quarantine order (they
hadn't
when he left, but had when he was in Italy), he should have turned
himself into
the Italian medical authorities and waited for the CDC to arrange
transport.

Morally, he has the ethics of a slug and should never have left the
country in
the first place. But then he is a trial lawyer. Or was. Can't imagine the
family
business will be all that great from here forward.


And you think that there is some reason that they would have arranged
transport for treatment instead of letting him die somewhere?

I wonder what the Canadians knew when they let him in?

It obviously didn't bother the car rental agency to let a foreigner take one
of their cars across a border on what was ostensibly a one-way trip.
