Judge Rules Against Trump Citizenship Question on Census

A federal judge ruled against the Trump administration’s push for citizenship question on 2020 Census, the Washington Post reports.

“The trial in New York was the first of three challenging the government’s addition of a citizenship question to the 2020 Census. Opponents of the question called it a partisan move that would reduce the response rate and harm the count.”

New York Times: “The ruling marks the opening round in a legal battle with potentially profound ramifications for federal policy and for politics at all levels, one that seems certain to reach the Supreme Court before the printing of census forms begins this summer.”
