The revocation program, plans for which were first reported by the AP in February, soon will be greatly expanded to cover parents who owe more than $2,500 in unpaid child support — the threshold set by a little-enforced 1996 law, the State Department said.

Wonder how long it'll take for them to use this precedence to revoke my trans passport while I'm living out of country

    Didn't they already say it has to match your sex assigned at birth? Sounds like next time you go to renew it.

    They did but they aren't revoking current ones last I checked. My concern is they obviously want to revoke existing ones not just when I would have to renew it. If they do that and invalidate my current passport while I'm living out of country I will be immediately requesting asylum
