President Donald Trump said on June 27 that he is seeking to delay the 2020 Census following the Supreme Court’s decision to block his administration from adding a citizenship question to the nationwide questionnaire for now.
“Seems totally ridiculous that our government, and indeed Country, cannot ask a basic question of Citizenship in a very expensive, detailed and important Census, in this case for 2020. I have asked the lawyers if they can delay the Census, no matter how long, until the United States Supreme Court is given additional information from which it can make a final and decisive decision on this very critical matter,” the president said in reaction to the high court judgment.
