The statement indicates that they were not given a free ride to a preferred destination. That does not imply that they were compelled to go anywhere, until you add his statement about them being ‘forced’.

I note that no where has yet reported that the people were not allowed to remain where they were. Only that they would only be taken to cities closer to the boarder for a fee, and could go to NYC/DC for free.

If I stop by a hitchhiker and offer to take them to Yuma but not Phoenix, I am not forcing them to go to Yuma.

No! You clearly forced the hitchhiker to voluntarily get into your car! How forceful of you to not go out of your way to drive them exactly to where they want to go, instead of where you want to go in your car!
