Federal judge blocks Trump administration from adding citizenship question to US census in 2020

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to add a citizenship question to the upcoming 2020 census, which opponents argue could scare minority and non-citizens from participating. US District Judge Jesse Furman ordered a stop to the plans to add the question to the form, unless the government can cure “the legal defects” laid out in the opinion. In Mr Furman’s opinion, released on Tuesday, the judge states that it is unlikely he will be the last judge to weigh in on the census question.
