The battle over the 2020 census escalated Tuesday as a group of states, led by New York, and cities, including San Francisco, sued the Trump administration for adding a question about U.S. citizenship to the 2020 census that the plaintiffs say is designed to lower the count in states with large immigrant populations and violates constitutional standards for the once-per-decade survey. “The resulting undercount will not only fatally undermine the accuracy of the 2020 census, but will jeopardize critical federal funding” and reduce the states’ representation in Congress, said lawyers for 18 states, six cities and the U.S. Conference of Mayors in a suit filed in federal court in New York.
