The US state department will begin revoking the US 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 on 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 (HHS).
