The ACLU, as well as state and local governments that fought the census question, has asked a judge to punish Trump officials for "a fraud on the court."
The Trump administration was dealt a stinging blow last month when the U.S. Supreme Court rejected its explanation for why a contentious citizenship question should be included in the 2020 census. The court rebuked the administration for providing a “contrived” rationale; it was “more of a distraction,” the court asserted, than an actual reason.
BREAKING: Groups that challenged #CitizenshipQuestion formally ask a federal judge in NY to impose penalties against Trump admin officials for allegedly engaging in"litigation conduct that is nothing less than a fraud." From @ACLU @NYCLU @arnoldporter👇https://t.co/O2RYz8omRoThe coalition, which includes the American Civil Liberties Union and a group of state and local governments, was behind the census lawsuit against the Trump administration that made it to the Supreme Court.
Story continuesThe officials, for instance, failed to disclose the “critical” role that Thomas Hofeller, a now-deceased GOP redistricting strategist, had played in “orchestrating the citizenship question,” the motion claims. Tom Hofeller, a master of modern gerrymandering, studied the effects of drawing districts according to the number of voting-age citizens—not the total population. Doing so, he concluded, “would be advantageous to Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites.”https://t.co/EBXbNaIVClThe plaintiffs also claimed that Commerce Department officials lied about the role that Mark Neuman, a close associate of Hofeller’s, played in discussions about the citizenship question.
