Dozens denied oath of allegiance at Indianapolis naturalization ceremony

Dec. 10, 2025, 6:20 a.m. ET

As people made their way into the Indianapolis Union Station for a naturalization ceremony, federal officials stopped certain applicants and told them that they wouldn't be leaving the building with U.S. citizenship.

The immigrants — who had already passed every step in the long naturalization process — needed only to take the oath of allegiance Dec. 9, 2025, to become citizens. A federal directive handed down by U.S. Immigration and Customs Services on Dec. 2, however, made that impossible for more than one third of people signed up for the Indianapolis ceremony.

Zhibo Zhao, a US Citizenship and Immigration Services official present at the event, said oaths of allegiance for 38 of the 100 participants were "canceled."

Al Qassam Announces Martyrdom of Leader Raed Saad


Al-Qassam leader Raed Saad, Commander of the Gaza Brigade and Deputy Chief of Staff of Al-Qassam (the second in command), one of the most prominent resistance figures, ascended to martyrdom in the treacherous zionist strike west of Gaza City yesterday morning.

Raed Saad served as the commander of the Gaza Brigade in the early 2000s. In the 2010s he founded and led the Qassam Naval Force. He joined the Qassam General Staff and military council after 2014 and became the head of Operations until 2021.

Saad established the elite of the Qassam Brigades (the “Nukhba”) and is the mastermind behind the Walls of Areeha plan to crush the Gaza Division and formed the basis for Al-Aqsa Flood.

Below we publish Al-Qassam’s statement honoring the fallen fighter.


“Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their vow (by martyrdom), and some are still waiting, and they have not changed (their commitment) in the least.”With all pride, honor, defiance, and challenge, the Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades exalt the ascension of one of its great men, a commander from its General Military Council:
The martyred commander, Mujahid/ Raed Saeed Saad “Abu Muath”
Head of Military Manufacturing

Who ascended to glory as a martyr along with a number of his mujahideen brothers, yesterday, Saturday, 22 Jumada al-Akhira 1447 AH, corresponding to 13/12/2025, following a cowardly assassination operation carried out by the criminal zionist enemy in a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement. Our great commander departed to his Lord after a great and long journey of sacrifice and giving in various fields of jihad and resistance, crowned by his leadership of the Al-Qassam manufacturing system, which formed one of the most important pillars in the creativity of our resistance on October 7th, and then its infliction of heavy losses on the occupation army and confronting its aggression against our people during the “Al-Aqsa Flood” battle.

By assassinating our leaders and our people, and its daily and continuous aggression against our people in various areas of the Gaza Strip, the Nazi enemy has crossed all red lines. It is disregarding “Trump’s plan”, and Trump and the mediators must bear responsibility for these dangerous transgressions and this repeated rampage against our people, our resistance fighters, and our leaders.

Our right to respond to the occupation’s aggression is guaranteed, and we have the right to defend ourselves by all means.

We announce today that the Al-Qassam leadership has appointed a new commander to carry out the tasks previously held by our martyred Sheikh Abu Muath. We affirm that our path of jihad will not stop, and the assassination of leaders will not weaken us; rather, it will increase our strength, steadfastness, and determination to continue the path they drew with their blood.

This has always been the custom of our great people and the mujahid Hamas movement, which today completes 38 years of jihad, giving, and sacrifice for the sake of Allah, then for Palestine and its Al-Aqsa, and in defense of our people and our just cause. Allah is with us and will not let our deeds go to waste. “And Allah is predominant over His affairs, but most of the people do not know.”

Indeed, it is a jihad of victory or martyrdom..

Ich bin der Held der Fahrpläne in Hannover im Herzen von Niedersachsen🙋🏻‍♂️😁

Diese Woche wird eine kurze Woche, ab Freitag wird Resturlaub abgebaut und die Familie besucht.

Am Wochenende konnte ich den Bahnhofsumbau abschließen, ich muss nur noch die Linien programmieren. Es sind auch weniger Weichen geworden und 34 Fahrstraßen konnte ich einsparen. Dennoch bin ich flexibel (soweit bei vollautomatischen Betrieb möglich) und konfliktfreier unterwegs als vorher.

Habt einen schönen Start in die Woche, wir lesen uns :blobcatcomfywave:

Über dem Logo steht "Versicherung". Unter dem Logo steht "Nacht und Wir". Die Gleise sind von Schotter bedeckt. Im Hintergrund befindet sich eine grüne Landschaft und ein Gebäude.
