Trump to Hold News Conference on Census Citizenship Question

Associated Press

   WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump said he'll hold a news conference
   Thursday to talk about the 2020 census and his push to include a
   question on citizenship.

   A Supreme Court ruling has temporarily barred the question , but Trump
   has said he may issue an executive order or memorandum to try to force
   the issue.

   The government has already begun the process of printing the census
   survey without that question .

   The administration's focus on asking broadly about citizenship for the
   first time since 1950 reflects the enormous political stakes and
   potential costs in the once-a-decade population count that determines
   the allocation of seats in the House of Representatives for the next 10
   years and the distribution of some $675 billion in federal spending.
