Hundreds of lawful permanent residents with green cards received free legal assistance with their naturalization application process at the City University of New York's (CUNY) annual Spring Citizenship Drive on May 16. The event, part of CUNY's Citizenship Now! program, was held at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Upper Manhattan. Organized in partnership with Univision Nueva York, the event brought together staff and volunteers to help eligible immigrants complete their U.S. citizenship applications; 273 applicants were at the drive.

At the 2022 World Cup, South Korea was one of just four nations, along with Brazil, Argentina and Saudi Arabia, not to have a naturalized player in its squad. That is unlikely to be the case in the 2026 World Cup as the East Asian nation selected a foreign-born male player in August for the first time in its history. It is a move that could be more significant off the pitch than on it.
