Description
Tears flow and flags are waved as 200 New Yorkers become US citizens during a special naturalization ceremony overseen by Attorney General Merrick Garland at the city's famed Ellis Island, which once welcomed thousands of immigrants daily. Citizenship candidates hailing from about 60 different countries file into the former immigration station's great hall for the first such ceremony on the island since 2016. "It represents one more step on the road that can be earned with a lot of effort in this country," says new US citizen Carmen Inda, who's originally from Spain. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
