The ACLU has asked the Supreme Court to wait until the fall to decide whether it will allow the Trump administration to add a question about citizenship to the 2020 census
Washington The American Civil Liberties Union late Wednesday night asked the Supreme Court to wait until the fall to decide if it wants to allow the Trump administration to add a question about citizenship to the 2020 census.
In a motion sent to the court, the group suggested that the justices send the case to a lower court to consider newly discovered evidence suggesting the question was added for political purposes.A Census Bureau official testified during trial that the questionnaire could be printed as late as October 31, meaning there would be time to review the new evidence on an expedited basis, said Dale Ho, the director of the ACLU's Voting Rights Project.
