English/Español: Rubio, Heinrich Statement On USCIS Resuming Naturalization Ceremonies
The senators recently sent a letter to USCIS urging the agency to ensure all eligible immigrants were able to complete their citizenship process amid COVID-19 pandemic.
Miami, FL — U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM) issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) resuming naturalization ceremonies under the guidance and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Senators Rubio and Heinrich sent a bipartisan letter to USCIS last week calling on the agency to safely resume naturalization ceremonies and to implement alternative oath-taking methods that comply with public health guidance.
“We are pleased USCIS heeded our call to safely resume naturalization ceremonies to allow eligible immigrants to become U.S. citizens,” the senators said. “Our immigrant communities have helped write the economic, social, and cultural story of America. We urge USCIS to continue working with all individuals faced with rescheduling such an important moment as they complete their journey to become citizens.”
Miami, FL – Los senadores estadounidenses Marco Rubio (R-FL) y Martin Heinrich (D-NM) emitieron el siguiente comunicado después que los Servicios de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos (USCIS, por sus siglas en inglés) decidiera reanudar las ceremonias de naturalización bajo la guía y recomendaciones de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC, por sus siglas en inglés).
Los senadores Rubio y Heinrich enviaron una carta bipartidista a USCIS la semana pasada pidiendo a la agencia que retome, bajo protocolos de bioseguridad, las ceremonias de naturalización y que implementaran métodos alternativos para la juramentación de la ciudadanía que cumpla con la guía de salud pública.
“Nos complace que USCIS haya atendido nuestro llamado a reanudar de manera segura las ceremonias de naturalización para permitir que los migrantes elegibles se conviertan en ciudadanos estadounidenses”, los senadores dijeron. “Nuestras comunidades de inmigrantes han ayudado a escribir la historia económica, social y cultural de los Estados Unidos. Instamos a USCIS a que continúe trabajando con todas las personas a quienes les ha tocado reprogramar esta cita tan importante en su proceso para convertirse en ciudadanos americanos”.
