A federal judge in California on Wednesday blocked the Trump administration from adding a citizenship question on the 2020 census and ruled it was unconstitutional and unlawful.
LOS ANGELES — A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the administration of President Donald Trump from adding a citizenship question on the 2020 U.S. census, ruling that it is unconstitutional and unlawful. It marks the second federal judge this year to rule against the administration on the issue.
At least six lawsuits have been filed over the Trump administration's plans, including several in New York. A federal judge in Manhattan in January also blocked the Commerce Department's plans to add the citizenship question. The Commerce Department announced last March it would reinstate the citizenship question on the upcoming census to help enforce the 1965 Voting Rights Act. California led a coalition of more than a dozen attorneys general that had cautioned Commerce prior to the announcement that a citizenship question would be unconstitutional and a violation of federal statutes.
