Trump backs off census citizenship question, issues order to collect data in other ways

Trump's expected announcement. The news conference planned for Thursday comes as two federal judges refused to let the Department of Justice withdraw lawyers from a lawsuit over the Trump administration's plans to put the citizenship question on the 2020 census form.

The Commerce Department already gathers information about citizenship from other government agencies. Congress now requires the Census Bureau to collect citizenship data through what's known as the American Community Survey, which samples about 2 percent of households every year. That information is combined with data the bureau gets from other agencies.

Opponents of putting the question on the census form itself -- the short form that goes to every household -- have said that non-citizens tend not to respond, making that method of determining citizenship unreliable.citizenship question Ho accused Trump of wanting"to sow fear in immigrant communities and turbocharge Republican gerrymandering efforts by diluting the political influence of Latino communities."

"Today’s Executive Order represents an alternative path to collecting the best citizenship data now available, which is vital for informed policymaking and numerous other reasons," spokesperson Kerri Kupec said in a statement. "Accordingly, the Department will promptly inform the courts that the Government will not include a citizenship question on the 2020 decennial census.”

Betrayal

And portrayed himself as a hero, mirrored by his attorney, AG Barr

Of course Barr says the court “got it wrong”. How nice his wisdom is greater than sitting Supreme Court Justices. Barr still hasn’t come to understand that he is the AG for the people, not Trump’s personal attorney. He should be impeached along with Trump.

It was on there under Obama. Just put it back with an Executive order. There done - next! 😆

We will count, find, and Deport all the Illegal Aliens

It is zero percent substance and 100% pure immigration politics—Classic Trump.

Massively caved in on the citizenshit question.

Cadet bone spurs wants the VA to hand over data on undocumented soldiers.

Still time to put a pedophile question on the census. Would cause a GOP undercount.

Census 1 : Trump 0 Now, he's doing what he loves best: issue another executive order. He thinks he's a king.

The citizenship data has been on the census for a long time until Obama removed it. No one seems to have a problem before.
