Trump administration is printing the census without a citizenship question

JUST IN: The Justice Department plans to print the 2020 census without a question about citizenship status

"We can confirm that the decision has been made to print the 2020 Decennial Census questionnaire without a citizenship question, and that the printer has been instructed to begin the printing process," Kate Bailey, a trial attorney with the Justice Department, wrote in an email to other attorneys involved in the case on Tuesday.

The court described Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross' explanation for including the question as"contrived" and"incongruent with what the record reveals about the agency's priorities and decision-making process." The process of preparing a new justification was expected to take months, including a lengthy court review that could return to the Supreme Court, delaying the process of printing hundreds of millions of forms and other materials and preparing for the count.
