Meet Robynne Chutkan, Sister Judge Tanya Chutkan
In 2019, 31 naturalized U.S. citizens took the Oath of Allegiance in the Rotunda of the National Archives in Washington, D.C. In her closing remarks, Judge Tanya Chutkan shared a glimpse of her own journey to naturalization after leaving her native Jamaica and mentioned her sister.
“I know this is a special day for you and your family,” Tanya said. “When I say I know, I really know, because I am an immigrant too. I remember this day very well. In fact, my sister was naturalized right here in the Rotunda many years ago. I know this is a special day, and I know how long and hard you have worked to get here.”
Tanya’s sister is Robynne Chutkan, a highly respected person in her field.
