RANCHO MIRAGE — The Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands will host a naturalization ceremony Wednesday, Jan. 15, in partnership with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Fifty new U.S. citizens will take the Oath of Allegiance at Sunnylands Center & Gardens during the 10 a.m. event.
USCIS often participates in naturalization ceremonies at notable locations, such as Sunnylands, and schools, libraries, and museums to celebrate the conclusion of an immigrant’s journey to citizenship and to honor the commitment they’ve shown along the way. Special venues not only make these events meaningful for those who have chosen to participate in American democracy, but they also reflect the strength and spirit of the United States.
Sunnylands is a historic estate built in the mid-20th century and has served as a retreat for numerous influential figures, including presidents and world leaders. The estate is known for its stunning architecture and its role in hosting important diplomatic meetings and events. Sunnylands Center & Gardens, opened in 2012, is adjacent to the historic estate.
USCIS encourages new citizens and guests to share their naturalization ceremony experiences and photos through social media, using the hashtag #NewUSCitizen.
