Judge orders census citizenship case to go forward, will look at Trump admin.'s 'discriminatory motive'
WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Friday ordered that a case go forward on whether a citizenship question can be added to the 2020 census and said it will focus on whether the Trump administration was"steeped in discriminatory motive."
Hazel noted that the claims of those against adding the citizenship question"are based on the premise that the genesis of the citizenship question was steeped in discriminatory motive. The discovery contemplated by the Court related to the recently discovered evidence in this case goes directly to that issue."
The notice, in a brief document filed in federal court in Maryland, was expected, given President Donald Trump's comments early Friday that he has not given up on the idea and might issue an executive order directing the Commerce Department to add the question. On Tuesday, Ross seemed to concede the point."The Census Bureau has started the process of printing the decennial questionnaires without the question," he said.In the notice filed Friday, Justice Department lawyers said they"have been asked to re-evaluate all available options" follow the Supreme Court ruling to"allow for a new decision to include the citizenship question on the 2020 Decennial Census.
