A drive-in movie theater hosted an emotional citizenship ceremony on Sept. 18, which saw 150 people representing 50 different countries sworn in as citizens of the United States of America.

The ceremony took place at the Starlite Drive-In theater in Clermont County, Ohio, and was officiated by Judge Beth Buchanan. The day was a long time coming for many of the attendees who stood by their vehicles, in compliance with social distancing rules, spaced 6 feet apart and wearing masks.
