Chad Wolf says he did not know naturalization ceremony would be seen at convention

Jonathan Karl, the program’s co-anchor and ABC’s chief Washington correspondent, doubled down on the question — asking Wolf whether he knew it would be used at the GOP convention. “No,” Wolf replied, adding, “We had a number of USCIS employees there, as they do every naturalization ceremony, making sure that that ceremony goes off without a hitch. They were giving that oath of allegiance to those individuals there. And again, we’ll continue to do that, because that's our mission at the department.”

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke on the House floor Wednesday for a record-breaking eight hours, vowing to speak — and stand — until Republicans concede protections for so-called Dreamers.
