Second US judge calls citizenship question on census illegal
SAN FRANCISCO — A second federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration’s decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 U.S. census is illegal.
Judge Richard Seeborg in San Francisco said Wednesday that the government’s move was arbitrary and capricious and would violate a constitutional requirement that the census count everyone in the country.
Seeborg said evidence showed the question would result in a significant undercount of non-citizens and Latinos.
