Republican racism blocks naturalization ceremonies

They were almost American - then Trump cancelled their citizenship ceremonies

Imagine passing your tests, clearing every background check, and standing at the very finish line of the American Dream—only to have the door slammed shut at the eleventh hour. This is the reality for thousands of residents across the country as the Republican-led suspension of naturalization ceremonies creates an unprecedented "citizenship limbo." Critics are sounding the alarm, calling the pause a form of collective punishment designed to disenfranchise new Americans just as they are ready to contribute their voices to our democracy.
