Immigration activists rally outside the Supreme Court on April 23 as the justices hear arguments over the Trump administration’s plan to ask about citizenship on the 2020 Census. The court cannot let the Trump administration get away with manipulating the census in a barely disguised partisan power play. Opponents of the citizenship question provided in federal court on Thursday documents elaborating on the partisan inspirations for the change. It is unclear whether the Supreme Court would consider evidence submitted in federal district court at this late stage in its pending ruling on the move to add the citizenship question. But, at this point, anyone paying attention would have to be purposely obtuse to conclude that the Trump administration acted for legitimate purposes.
