Las Vegas, Nev. – Today, Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) welcomed 61 new U.S. citizens during a naturalization ceremony at the Lloyd D. George U.S. Courthouse in Las Vegas.
“I’m so glad to welcome you as Americans and to witness your commitment to this country we all love,” said Senator Cortez Masto. “I know how much immigrants contribute both to Nevada and our nation. That’s part of what makes America the greatest country in the world. Congratulations to you and your families on this proud day—I look forward to seeing all that you accomplish.”
The first and only Latina Senator, Cortez Masto has consistently supported immigrant communities in Nevada. She is leading commonsense legislation to fix our broken immigration system, and she’s called on the administration to take action to protect TPS holders and other immigrants, address delays in DACA renewal applications, and make it easier for mixed status families to stay together. She has worked to pass meaningful immigration reform that balances critical border security measures with a path to citizenship for Dreamers and essential workers, and she’s pushed legislation to allow Dreamers to work in Congress.
