NBC: Passports to be revoked from parents who owe child support

https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/us-to-revoke-passports-parents-owe-child-support/4081586/

U.S. will start revoking passports for thousands of parents who owe child support, AP learns
The revocations would apply to about 2,700 American passport holders who owe $100,000 or more, the U.S. State Department told the AP.

This is another violation of due process: If anyone can lose their citizenship because of a financial debt, no one is safe from deportation.

Can be used to revoke any of your rights. Plus, who knows if a crooked judge or other court officer truly got the verdict right. There are bad convictions all the time. This is the gop telling us they own us. Our rights come from our cooperation with them .
