Citizenship Question.
A federal judge allowed a lawsuit over Trump’s decision to add a question on citizenship in the census. The judge said Trump’s statements reveal an “animus towards immigrants of color.” And on the eve of the deadline for public comment period, community organizations are urging people to rush and submit comments to the Commerce Department about the citizenship question.
