Trump policies upend years-long paths to citizenship

Episode 349 | 7m 14s

The naturalization ceremony is the final step of a lengthy, often years-long legal process to become a U.S. citizen. In cities across the country in recent weeks, they've been abruptly canceled for immigrants from 19 countries deemed "high-risk" by President Trump. Amna Nawaz discussed those caught in legal limbo with Gail Breslow of Project Citizenship.
