The nation celebrated Constitution Day and Citizenship Day on September 16, 2016. Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor delivered congratulatory remarks to those naturalized at Ellis Island. Her message was webcast by the U.S. Courts as part of their coverage of ceremonies at the Lincoln Memorial and Ellis Island, which were hosted by the National Park Service and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service. Associate Justice Sotomayor discussed the U.S. Constitution, her family's migration from Puerto Rico to the mainland United States, the challenges of becoming U.S. citizens, and the rewards and responsibilities that come with citizenship, including voting, volunteering, and jury duty. She urged the new citizens to embrace the American culture, but not abandon their native cultures, as diversity is America's greatest strength.

United States Courts: Pathways to the Bench: U.S. District Court Judge Juan Sánchez (video)

U.S. District Court Judge Juan R. Sánchez, of Philadelphia, moved at age 12 from Puerto Rico to New York where he learned English, excelled in school, and developed his baseball talents. Baseball helped him assimilate and make friends, but it was his passion for public service that led him to the federal bench. He still plays baseball on a league and brings his work ethic and dedication to the diamond and to the courthouse every day.
