Nearly 300 individuals will take an oath that will officially make them citizens of the United States of America.

It will be a memorable day for hundreds of immigrants and their families from all over the world, as they take an oath and become citizens. Keynote speaker Major General Scott G. West, Commanding General US Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command, will address the new citizens and emphasize their roles and responsibilities as new Americans.

This is the fifth Swearing-In Ceremony hosted by ACC. We are proud to work jointly with the Department of Homeland Security-Office of Citizenship and Immigration to promote cross-cultural understanding and respect for the diversity of cultures residing in the State of Michigan.
