NYC naturalization ceremony marks World Refugee Day

NEW YORK

A special naturalization ceremony took place in New York’s Central Park in honor of World Refugee Day.

Nineteen people from 12 countries were sworn in as new Americans on Monday evening. Most of them were refugees or asylum seekers.

The special event was held at The Delacorte Theater, an amphitheater best known as a venue for free Shakespeare performances.

A woman from the West African country of Mali was sworn in, and said that today was the happiest day of her life.

Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson administered the Oath of Allegiance to the new citizens. The ceremony was followed by a series of performances celebrating refugees.

People who come to the U.S. as refugees or asylum seekers are eligible to apply for citizenship after five years in the country.

Trump campaign manager fired in dramatic shake-up

NEW YORK

Donald Trump abruptly fired campaign manager Corey Lewandowski on Monday in a dramatic shake-up designed to calm panicked Republican leaders and end an internal power struggle plaguing the billionaire businessman’s unconventional White House bid.

In dismissing his longtime campaign chief – just a month before the party’s national convention - Trump signaled, at least for a day, a departure from the seat-of-the-pants style that has fueled his unlikely rise in Republican politics. Perhaps more than anyone else in Trump’s inner circle, the ousted aide has preached a simple mantra: “Let Trump be Trump.”

“I have no regrets,” Lewandowski told CNN just hours after he was escorted out of Trump’s Manhattan campaign headquarters. Still, the former conservative activist seemed to acknowledge the limitations of his approach, which has sparked widespread concern among the GOP’s top donors, operatives, elected officials, and even some of Trump’s family members
