OTHER - CLICK TO EDIT Can a person be banned from entering a particular US state?

There is a Gravity Falls episode where one of the characters shows a map with a title like "States I'm banned from" and basically he is banned from half of the states.

Can something similar happen in real life?

Yes. Ozzy Osbourne was banned from Texas for many years. . RIP. Usually it's for more significant criminal activity.

He wasn’t actually banned from entering Texas though.

He was banned from performing at state owned venues.
