Passport Fair in Miami
The U.S. Passport Acceptance Fair has already been held in various cities and states across the country. Now, it's coming to Miami-Dade this Saturday, June 14, along with other Florida cities including Gulf Breeze and Milton.
In South Florida, the one-day event will run from 1 to 7 p.m. at the Snapper Creek USPS post office, 11000 SW 104th St.

Will you receive your passport at the fair?
Passport acceptance facilities only offer routine and expedited processing services — they don't issue passports on-site. Each application is mailed to the Department of State for review and approval.
If you need a passport for travel within two weeks, schedule an appointment at one of the 26 passport agencies or centers across the country.
Another passport fair will also be held in July, but no Miami or South Florida locations are scheduled for that month.
What documents do you need to apply?
▪ Completed DS-11 application form (do not sign until instructed by the acceptance agent)
▪ Proof of U.S. citizenship (such as an original naturalization certificate)
▪ Government-issued photo ID (driver's license or state ID)
▪ Photocopies of citizenship and identity documents
▪ Passport photo (USPS offers photo services onsite)
Fees: $130 for the passport book application plus a $35 acceptance fee. Form DS-11 also allows you to apply for a passport card, which costs $65, but is only valid for domestic flights and sea travel to nearby countries.
For minors applying for a passport
If you're applying for a passport for a minor, keep the following in mind:
▪ Provide a document that proves your relationship to the child such as a birth certificate or court order.
▪ The child must appear in person with both parents or legal guardians. If only one parent is present, written consent from the absent parent is required.
▪ Include the child's Social Security Number. If unavailable, a signed and dated statement must be submitted under penalty of perjury in accordance with U.S. law.

Calls to Boycott 2026 World Cup Surge After Trump-FIFA Scandal and New Travel Ban
Calls to Boycott 2026 World Cup Surge After Trump-FIFA Scandal and New Travel Ban originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Trump's newly announced travel ban has increased further the calls for a Boycott of the 2026 World Cup. Advertisement Though the ban comes with an exemption that could apply to players, staff or associated family members participating in the tournament, Democrats are calling the move "reckless" and "discriminatory" with fears that it will lead to chaos and confusion with regards to the US's hosting of events including the World Cup, the Club World Cup and the Olympics. The exemption states that the following are not subject to the ban" "Any athlete or member of an athletic team, including coaches, persons performing a necessary supporting role, and immediate relatives, traveling for the World Cup, Olympics, or any other major sporting event as determined by the secretary of state" Infantino Cosying Up To Trump Last month FIFA President Gianni Infantino skipped his own congress to meet with Donald Trump in Qatar and Saudi Arabia - sparking a walkout by European officials. That move triggered the previously unthinkable notion of a boycott. Critics say the relationship between Trump and Infantino highlights corruption and deep ties to authoritarian regimes, with UEFA accusing Infantino of abusing power for political gain. Advertisement Qatar hosted the last World Cup and even more controversially, Saudi Arabia won the bid to host the 2034 World Cup unopposed. Minky Worden, the director of global initiatives at Human Rights Watch said that Infantino's trip was indicative of the lack of "meaningful accountability" at the highest level of soccer and called on him "to detail precisely what it achieved for football and human rights". Fans Fear The Worst The controversy comes on top of fears that Trump's hardline immigration policies will deter fans from traveling to the US after recent detention horror stories from tourists. Others have mocked Infantino and Trump for sharing three key traits - a love of money; a thirst for power; and rampant narcissism. Advertisement There's no word yet on whether Qatar is also giving Infantino a $400 million plane, but would it surprise anyone if they were? UEFA meanwhile accused Infantino of pursuing "private political interests" ahead of his responsibility to football. Angry statements have little to no affect on the way that Infantino and/or Trump behave. That's why increasingly people are calling for more radical action and to hit Trump and Infantino where it hurts: their wallet. That includes a partial boycott of the 2026 World Cup, with countries refusing to play games in the US, and insisting all matches switch to co-hosts Canada and Mexico.

Expect traffic headaches Saturday with protest, sports, music, I-94 closure
Cue the traffic nightmares between downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul, and the new public transit services rolling up to meet them. In light of protests, sporting events, concerts and Interstate 94 closing in both directions between Huron Boulevard and Interstate 35W this weekend, Metro Transit is bracing for a key test of its latest bus offerings: the B Line from Uptown Minneapolis to downtown St. Paul, which debuts at 4 a.m. Saturday, and the Route 94 bus, which is launching new weekend service with departures every half hour. In addition, the Gold Line from Woodbury to downtown St. Paul debuted in March. The interstate closure won't be the only event disrupting weekend traffic. There are 'No Kings' protests planned across the country against the Trump administration, including an 11 a.m. rally at St. Paul College that will lead into a noon march to the State Capitol. As many as 20,000 protesters are expected to attend. On Saturday evening, Minnesota United plays San Diego FC at 7:30 p.m. at Allianz Field in St. Paul, and Grammy-winning Canadian singer-songwriter The Weeknd performs at 7 p.m. at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. In addition, the two-day Stone Arch Bridge Festival opens Saturday in Minneapolis, and the Minnesota Lynx take on the Los Angeles Sparks at noon Saturday at Target Center. In anticipation of heightened passenger demand, Metro Transit will run three-car trains along the Green Line on Saturday and maintain extra operators, TRIP agents and other greeters at high-traffic station platforms along University Avenue, including the Capitol/Rice Street station. 'We know we're going to have larger than usual crowds,' said Metro Transit spokesman Drew Kerr. 'All hands on deck.' All I-94 entrance and exit ramps between I-35W and Huron Boulevard were scheduled to close beginning at 9 p.m. Friday, with both directions of I-94 closing for bridge work along eastbound I-94 beginning at 10 p.m. The interstate is expected to reopen by late Sunday night, but six ramps will remain closed through mid-August, including I-35W northbound to eastbound I-94, Huron Boulevard to eastbound I-94 and eastbound I-94 to Huron Boulevard. A $16 million project to repair five I-94 bridges in Minneapolis began in October 2024 and is expected to wrap up by October of this year. More information is online at The B Line, Metro Transit's seventh bus rapid transit service, will operate from 4 a.m. to 1 a.m., with free rides from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday courtesy of Midtown Global Market. Community celebrations featuring free cookies, a kids art table and Skip Traffic, the Metro Transit mascot, are planned from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the downtown St. Paul Union Depot and the Lake and Chicago station in Minneapolis. Schedules for the B Line — which replaces the longstanding Route 21 — and new weekend service on the Route 94 are online at I-94 closing this weekend near Minneapolis-St. Paul boundary Aging Jackson Street bridge in St. Paul's North End is closed for repairs Snelling and St. Clair intersection fully reopens after construction Forest Lake detours begin as MnDOT undertakes $17M Highway 97 reconstruction project Snelling Ave. and St. Clair Ave. intersection closing intermittently
