Judge signs order permanently blocking citizenship question from 2020 census
Source: The Hill
A federal judge in New York on Tuesday signed an order permanently blocking the Trump administration from adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census, days after President Trump gave up on his efforts to get such a question on next year's census.
The order, signed by Judge Jesse Furman, was jointly drafted by the parties opposing the citizenship question.
It stops administration officials "from including a citizenship question on the 2020 decennial census questionnaire; from delaying the process of printing the 2020 decennial census questionnaire after June 30, 2019 for the purpose of including a citizenship question; and from asking persons about citizenship status on the 2020 census questionnaire or otherwise asking a citizenship question as part of the 2020 decennial census."
The order also states that Furman, an Obama appointee, will be able to enforce the order "until the 2020 census results are processed and sent to the President by December 31, 2020."
