This evening I took my mom on an errand, and when we arrived in the parking lot there were four white male police officers surrounding two Black teen girls. 1/16
@melnickjeffrey1 Try calling each morning right at 7:59, and you should be able to get an appointment, hopefully. We did that for our trip and got our daughter her passport same day
