Citizenship Ceremonies Stalled for Some

“Several immigrants ready to take their citizenship oaths at Boston’s Faneuil Hall in the last week were told they could not proceed because of their countries of origin,” NBC Boston reports.

“The same situation is playing out across the country.”

“U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has instructed its employees to halt immigration pathways to people from 19 countries deemed high risk, including Afghanistan, Cuba, Venezuela, Haiti and Somalia.”
