Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted. Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.

Karoline Leavitt’s Brother Had Grim Custody Fight With ICE-Arrested Ex ICE arrested Bruna Ferreira, the mother of Leavitt’s nephew, in November.

Ah. Many of us were wondering what the deal was here.

The mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew was reportedly engaged in a nasty years-long custody battle with the White House press secretary’s brother before she was detained by ICE last month.

My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan.

I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month.

And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

New Yorkers BLOCK ICE from leaving their parking garage ahead of a flopped mass raid attempt on Canal Street

A 19 yr old girl was kidnapped at a Massachusetts airport and deported to Honduras, illegally.

A judge already said she was not to be deported.

She was headed to Texas to surprise her family for Thanksgiving. She did not make it.

This story needs to be heard by everyone!

The Sec HHS is now unilaterally posting vaccine disinformation on the CDC website. Because of RFK Jr, the CDC can no longer be viewed as an authoritative source for health information. Cassidy should be calling for RFK’s dismissal, and put the health of his country over his own political career.

Trump Shows America That His Mind Is Totally Gone The Trump administration refuses to release jobs and consumer data for the month of October, but Trump did thank Walmart for a report on prices that doesn't exist.

Hannity: When did you notice Biden’s cognitive decline?

Miller: I think it was through all of the times that Trump has fallen asleep in public and talked about magnets getting wet.

You can't use flexible spending accounts to pay for insurance premiums, only medical expenses. So your premiums go way up, but you can... pay for more visits? In practice, this would mean people end their insurance plans and try to save enough on their FSAs to cover care.

We have as much leverage as we’ve ever had — and Chuck Schumer is on the brink of taking a deal that gives Democrats NOTHING.

I’m glad Hakeem Jeffries will fight this in the House, but it should not get that far. Senate Dems must not cave.

Leigh Ann Caldwell @LACaldwelIDC - CR through Jan 30 - A vote on a ACA bill by a December date certain, on a bill of Dems choosing - Minibus which includes reversal of shutdown RIFs and back pay and protections against them happening in the future + SNAP is funded through fiscal year 26 2/ Sens. Shaheen, Hassan, and King led the negotiations over the past five, which intensified over the weekend. I'm told about 10 Democrats are expected to back it

Welp, that’s the Senate side of the shutdown over, it seems.

Grocery prices have jumped up, and there's no relief in sight Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.

Kidnapped by state secret police at her court hearing

Tonight, over 240,000 Venezuelans will lose Temporary Protected Status.

The Trump administration is dismantling our core humanitarian protections, leaving hundreds of thousands at risk of detention, deportation, and harm.

Congress must protect TPS holders and pass a pathway to citizenship now.

In U.S. first, New Mexico launches free child care for all Under the program, families, regardless of income, can receive state vouchers to cover public and private child care fees.

Now let’s do the nation. Free, universal child care is the proactive, pro-economy, pro-family vision we need for the future.

YouTube Removed Hundreds of Videos of Israeli Human Rights Violations to Comply With Trump Sanctions "YouTube is being complicit in silencing the voices of Palestinian victims,” said a spokesperson for the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, whose channel was deleted.

In compliance with Trump's sanctions, YouTube has deleted the accounts of three Palestinian human rights groups, removing hundreds of videos that documented Israel's human rights violations.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.

A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

This person took this when they called the race

After gleefully and illegally plowing over every statute and regulation they don't like—such as by destroying USAID, refusing to enforce CFPB regs, and withholding SNAP funding—the Trump admin has decided 88 FR 8255 is ironclad law that must be ruthlessly enforced to ensure more people go hungry.

DHS Wants States to Hand Over Driver’s License Data for Citizenship Checks It’s the latest step in an unprecedented initiative to pool confidential data that the Trump administration claims will help identify noncitizens on voter rolls and tighten immigration enforcement.

Legal experts called DHS’ move to use driver’s license data for citizenship checks more evidence of federal overreach.

“The administration wants to get as much data as it can, however it can, whenever it can.”
