Note 1227 — AMENDMENT 14 (continued 5)

Civil Rights Cases, 109 U.S. 3, 13 (1883). See also United States v. Wheeler, 254 U.S. 281 (1920) on which it was held that the United States is without power to punish infractions by individuals of the right of citizen to reside peacefully in the several States, and to have free ingress into and egress from such States. Authority to deal with the forcible eviction by a mob of individuals across State boundaries is exclusively within the power reserved by the Constitution to the States.
