NEW YORK — The Supreme Court has denied the Trump administration’s request to delay a federal trial in the challenge over placing a citizenship question on the 2020 census. The ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ and other groups brought the lawsuit on behalf of immigrants’ rights groups.

Dale Ho, director of the ºìÐÓÊÓÆµâ€™s Voting Rights Project, had this reaction to today’s Supreme Court action:

“We are pleased the Supreme Court rejected this Hail Mary attempt to stop the trial from moving forward. We’ll see the Trump administration in court on Monday.â€
