On May 13, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana held a naturalization ceremony in which 49 petitioners became United States citizens. The Honorable James C. Ho, United States Circuit Judge for the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, presided over the ceremony. In his opening remarks, Judge Ho welcomed and congratulated the petitioners then invited everyone to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance which was led by representatives from the Daughters of the American Revolution. EDLA Assistant U.S. Attorney Rob Adams served as the Attorney General’s designee, issuing the statement of petitioners’ eligibility for citizenship and presenting petitioners’ requests for name change. After granting the requests for name change, Judge Ho invited Deputy Clerk Morgan Palmer to administer the Oath of Allegiance. Judge Ho then provided the keynote address. In his address, he spoke of his own journey to the United States from Taipei Taiwan and on becoming a U.S. Circuit Judge. He relayed that in this country, anything is possible and furthered that what unites us is not a common past but a common desire for a united future. After his address, petitioners were given their certificates, and Judge Ho took pictures with each of our country’s newest citizens. To view photos from the ceremony, please select this link.
