Supreme Court to hear census citizenship case this term

The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to take up a case about the Trump administration’s plan to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census.

The justices decided to skip over a regional appeals court and review a district court ruling that bars the Trump administration from adding the controversial question to the decennial population count.

They granted the government’s request to hear arguments this term ahead of a ruling from the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals. Arguments will be heard in the second week in April.
