November 7, 2024 Naturalization Ceremony

Release Date: 
Friday, November 15, 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 Jane Triche Milazzo, U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of Louisiana, presided over the November 7 ceremony. She welcomed and congratulated the petitioners and then invited everyone to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance, which was led by representatives from the Daughters of the American Revolution. Judge Milazzo then invited keynote speaker Kathleen Gasparian to provide remarks. Ms. Gasparian, an immigration attorney, reflected on her experience as the daughter of two parents who immigrated to America from different countries. Ms. Gasparian highlighted the importance of voting in elections at all levels, noting that voting, like many aspects of being an American citizen, is both a right and responsibility. Peter Mansfield, Chief of the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office (EDLA), served as the Attorney General’s designee and certified the petitioners’ eligibility for citizenship, and granted petitioners’ requests for name change.  Sherry Adams, Case Manager for Judge Milazzo, administered the Oath of Allegiance, and the United States Coast Guard presented the Colors. Petitioners received their certificates and took photos with Judge Milazzo alongside family members. To view photos from the ceremony, please select this link.
