Trump’s Citizenship Ceremony Cancellations: Legal Immigrants Targeted
The Trump administration recently cancelled citizenship ceremonies for immigrants from 19 countries, including Iran, already subject to a travel ban. This decision left legal permanent residents like Sanam, who had completed all prior steps, in limbo. Affected individuals, such as Sanam and Jorge, were informed of the cancellations just days or even hours before their ceremonies. This action is part of broader efforts to tighten immigration rules, following a shooting in Washington D.C., leading to uncertainty and re-evaluation of their futures in the U.S.
