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.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

Along the same lines, we need language for verbal political conflict other than just "disagreement." Kirk did not "disagree" with queer people, Black people and Jews, he explicitly argued that they should be suppressed and deprived of their rights through state power.

Another way to handle this would be, “The spokeswoman for DHS declined to go on the record. Our news organization does not provide anonymity to government spokespeople and thus we are unable to provide DHS’s response. We will be happy to update this story should DHS change its policy.”

And why was Baraka there in the first place? Turns out the private prison facility is violating the law, but also unwilling to be served with legal process apple.news/AV9JgWB8fQq6...
Excerpt from a news article on NJ.com. Text reads: "Baraka and other city officials went to Delaney Hall to serve summonses on its private owner-operator, the GEO Group of Boca Ratón, Florida.

The summonses assert that GEO has refused to grant fire and code officials access to Delaney Hall and has placed a padlock on the gate, violating state law.

City officials had tried to serve the summonses on the GEO Group on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, when a company representative refused to accept them each time, forcing city officials to leave them on the gate, a retractable chain link fence topped with razor wire."
