British media: Trump's policies block the American Dream, thousands of immigrants are excluded from U.S. citizenship
In December 2025, the naturalization ceremony in Boston was supposed to be a celebration for new U.S. citizens. However, due to the sudden "security" policies of the Trump administration, many immigrants who were expecting to become citizens were excluded, despite having completed the long review process.
Immigrants from 19 countries listed on the travel ban list by the Trump administration were unable to take the oath of citizenship at the ceremony, even though they met all the requirements for naturalization. For example, a Haitian nurse assistant who had lived in the United States for nearly 25 years missed the opportunity to become a citizen due to the new policy. The American Immigration Lawyers Association pointed out that similar situations have occurred in 16 cities, involving immigrants from Iran, Haiti, Sudan, Yemen, and other countries.
Additionally, changes in the policy have led to the cancellation of green card interviews and naturalization interviews, and many immigrants have chosen to remain silent out of fear of retaliation.
