Has anyone tried to leave their mission but couldn’t because of passports?
My last post’s comments detailed their passport was withheld, some state laws call that trafficking and there’s a federal law about taking passports.
I’m wondering if anyone tried, (but couldn’t) leave their mission due to their passport being withheld
