BREAKING: The Trump administration says it's printing the 2020 Census without a citizenship question, according to a lawyer for a group that opposed adding the question.
The Justice Department says the 2020 Census is moving ahead without a question about citizenship.
Kristen Clarke, an attorney for a civil rights group that helped fight the addition of the question, says Trump administration attorneys notified parties in lawsuits that the printing of the hundreds of millions of documents for the 2020 counts would be starting soon. Justice Department spokeswoman Kelly Laco has confirmed there would be “no citizenship question on 2020 census.”
The White House didn’t immediately comment on the decision. President Donald Trump has decried last week’s Supreme Court ruling saying the question was sought under a false pretext.AP NEWS
