    From the article:

    Passport revocations for unpaid child support of more than $2,500 is allowed under a rarely-enforced 1996 federal law.

    Previously, the consequence was only doled out when people with such debt sought to renew their passports.

    So, not new, just being more strongly enforced.

    Edit: more context

      If you actually give a shit about child poverty, universalist aid programs are a way more efficient and effective way to address that problem, but if you’re just looking for an excuse to punish people and helping kids is beside the point rock on I guess
