U.S. Rep. Sean Casten Participates in Chicago Naturalization Ceremony for 101 New Citizens
U.S. Rep. Sean Casten, D-IL, is scheduled to deliver remarks at a naturalization ceremony in Chicago. The event will welcome 101 new U.S. citizens from 35 different countries. U.S. District Judge Thomas M. Durkin will administer the oath during the proceedings, which are taking place at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse. This ceremony occurs as the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois notes that court-administered naturalizations are currently tracking below the levels seen in recent years. The event highlights the ongoing process of immigration and integration into American society, with a focus on the formal legal step of becoming a citizen.
