'Let's not forget that the inclusion of a citizenship question was not driven by any lawful justification—the Supreme Court made that abundantly clear—but instead, by a discriminatory agenda,'
As President Donald Trump licked his wounds after losing the battle to see a controversial citizenship question included on the 2020 census, Democrats and rights groups across the country celebrated a fresh victory for democracy.
The White House had argued that the question could help secure protections for minority voters, but rights groups and Democrats argued that it would only stoke fears of deportation among immigrant groups and deter immigrant households from taking part in the population count, which only happens once every ten years.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations joined in welcoming the news, with the council's National Executive Director Nihad Awad praising the"activists and community members nationwide who fought this attempt to politicize the census" for their hard work in seeing the elimination of a"discriminatory question.", being asked of some subsets of the population after it was reintroduced on the long form census, as recently as the year 2000.
