U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Ignacio Amaya, an engineer assistant with Combat Logistics Battalion 7, 1st Marine Logistics Group, assigned to Joint Task Force-Southern Border in support of Operation Ardent Vanguard, poses for a photo after his naturalization ceremony in Phoenix, Ariz., June 10, 2026. Born in Argentina and raised in Bolivia, Amaya recently achieved a life-changing milestone by taking the Oath of Allegiance and becoming a U.S. citizen while deployed to the southern border. U.S. Northern Command is working side-by-side with the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection within narrowly defined authorities to provide unique military capabilities to protect the territorial integrity of the U.S. southern border.
