In a 5-4 decision spearheaded by Chief Justice John Roberts, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a blow to the Trump administration on Thursday by enjoining it from including a question about a person’s citizenship status on the 2020 census.
“The court said the administration’s explanation for adding such a question is insufficient and sent it back to the lower courts for further consideration,” Fox News reports of the decision. “The ruling marks a setback for the administration, though the issue is not yet resolved. Still, while further lower-court litigation is possible, it would be very difficult for the administration to get the question on the census in time for the forms to be printed by the government’s own self-declared summer deadline.”
