The U.S. State Department will begin revoking the U.S. passports of thousands of parents who owe a significant amount of unpaid child support.
The department told The Associated Press on Thursday that the revocations would begin Friday and be focused on those who owe $100,000 or more. That would apply to about 2,700 American passport holders, according to figures supplied to the State Department by the Department of Health and Human Services.
