US Supreme Court Faults Trump Bid to Add Census Citizenship Question

Reuters

   WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that President
   Donald Trump's administration did not give an adequate explanation for
   its plan to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, delivering a
   victory to New York state and others challenging the proposal.

   The justices partly upheld a federal judge's decision barring the
   question in a win for a group of states and immigrant rights
   organizations that challenged the plan. The mixed ruling does not
   definitively decide whether the question could be added at some point.

   The Republican president's administration had appealed to the Supreme
   Court after lower courts blocked the inclusion of the census question.
   A group of states including New York and immigrant rights organizations
   sued to prevent the citizenship question from being included in the
   decennial population count. Opponents have said the question would
   instill fear in immigrant households that the information would be
   shared with law enforcement, deterring them from taking part.
