The Trump administration's decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 U.S. census 'threatens the very foundation of our democratic system,' a federal judge said Wednesday
1 / 2FILE - This March 23, 2018 file photo shows an envelope containing a 2018 census letter mailed to a U.S. resident as part of the nation's only test run of the 2020 Census. As the U.S. Supreme Court weighs whether the Trump administration can ask people if they are citizens on the 2020 Census, the Census Bureau is quietly gathering comprehensive information about the legal status of millions of immigrants.
Seeborg became the second judge to declare the move illegal, and the effect of his decision is limited. A federal judge in New York had previously blocked the administration from adding the question to the population count that occurs every 10 years, and the U.S. Supreme Court last month agreed to review that decision.
Census numbers are used to determine states' distribution of congressional seats and billions of dollars in federal funding.
