- Existing unexpired passports will remain good
- No guidance on confiscation, but it doesn’t seem like they will

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Yesterday's executive order is another harmful action and *does* make abundantly clear that this administration is going to continue to pursue attacks on the trans community.
It *does not* ban gender affirming care for youth. Nor does it change the protections we have established in Minnesota.
