Supreme Court to decide fate of citizenship question on 2020 census.
Just weeks before the 2020 census questionnaire goes to print, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether the Trump administration can ask about citizenship.
Until 1950, the census regularly asked about citizenship status, but it was discontinued 70 years ago because of concerns it harmed participation. By the administration's own estimates, asking about citizenship is projected to drive down the census count by about 6.5 million people, mostly among immigrants and their families.
The administration said it's highly"speculative" millions of people would decline participation in the census because of a citizenship question or that the data on immigration status would be used to retaliate against political opponents. Earlier this month, a federal judge in Maryland also said Ross violated the Constitution"by unreasonably compromising the distributive accuracy of the Census."
