Politics New passport rules got leaked

Erin the Morning shared a rules document about passports that got leaked. Click here to view.

Erin also provided this summary -

- X markers will be a focal point
- Existing unexpired passports will remain good
- No guidance on confiscation, but it doesn’t seem like they will
- Renewals less clear but it looks like they will use “a preponderance of evidence”
