BREAKING: Federal court blocks citizenship question from 2020 census.
“The evidence is clear that Secretary Ross’s rationale was pretextual…the court can not sustain agency action founded on a pretextual or sham justification that conceals the true “basis” for the decision.”

Pleased a federal judge struck down the attempt by the Trump Administration to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census.
Also, the judge basically called Secretary Wilbur Ross a liar.
Why is there so much lying by the @realDonaldTrump Administration? https://t.co/iXfOSzOzg7
