2B Wednesday, May 17, 2017 Appeal Tribune LAUREN HERNANDEZ/STATESMAN JOURNAL Brian Mitchell, 16, applies for a passport in the Marion County Clerk’s Office on Friday. Passport applications rise since election LAUREN E HERNANDEZ STATESMAN JOURNAL Passport applications have surged in the Mid-Willamette Valley since Presi- dent Donald Trump’s election, according to officials. In 2016, the Marion County Clerk’s of- fice processed between 800 and 900 passports applications for the entire year. The office processed roughly 895 applications in the month of February 2017 alone. That number surged to roughly 1,170 in March and is continuing to rise since then, said Marion County Clerk Bill Bur- gess. Burgess said the hike in passport processing may be a result of undocu- mented parents who are rushing to get passports for their American-born chil- dren in the event of deportation — a con- cern since highly publicized U.S. Immi- gration and Customs Enforcement activ- ity since Trump’s deportation and immi- gration executive orders. “There are American children who will not be allowed to cross the border without a passport if their parents are deported,” Burgess said. Since Trump’s inauguration in late January, Burgess said, his office has been flooded with parents who scooped up their children after school and imme- diately visited the office eager to apply for a passport before the office’s 5 p.m. closing time. Parents and children often line the of- fice with passport photos, birth certifi- cates, and passport applications while they wait to be processed by one of roughly nine certified passport proces- sors the office employs. Some parents bring along someone to translate during the application process. The increase in passport applications may also be affected by the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, which passed in 2007 and resulted in more than 18 million passports applications. Now 10 years later, passports issued in 2007 will soon expire, which may be a factor in the rise Marion County is observing now. The United States Department of State saw an “unprecedented surge” in passport applications back in 2007 after the 9/11 Commission started to require passports for travel to and from Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. On March 3, the office accepted 114 passports. Three days later, the office accepted 134 passports. Burgess said it sometimes took weeks to reach 100 proc- essed passports last year. The youngest child to receive a passport was 21 days old. “From my point of view, we’ve got to do everything we can to serve these peo- ple as well as we can to make sure they can feel and live as securely as possible,” Burgess said. In an effort to help more families, Burgess said the office will provide ex- tended passport service hours out of the clerk’s office on election day, Tuesday, May 16. The office will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The office will be open for extended hours to juggle the election day rush but said that will also give families more time to get passports for children. Burgess said while the clerk’s office will process ballots on election day, there will still be between five and nine work- ers who are certified by the United States Department of State to process passports. Ramon Ramirez, director of Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste, or Northwest Treeplanters and Farmwork- ers United, said he recently visited North Salem High School and Woodburn High School to talk to students about pre- paring for the possibility of their parents getting deported. “We found out overwhelmingly that these kids are having conversations with their parents about ‘what if you got de- See PASSPORTS, Page 3B PUBLIC NOTICE PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of Self Storage Sale Please take notice Absolute Storage LLC – Salem located at 2605 Hawthorne Ave. NE, Salem, OR 97301 intends to hold an auction of the goods stored in the following units in default for non-payment of rent.
