A federal court on Thursday blocked a memorandum signed by President Trump seeking to exclude undocumented immigrants from being counted in the census for apportionment saying such action would violate the statute governing congressional apportionment.
A special three-judge panel out of New York wrote that the president’s argument that undocumented immigrants should not be counted runs afoul of a statute saying apportionment must be based on everyone who is a resident of the U.S. The judges found that all residents must be counted for apportionment purposes regardless of their legal status.
The ruling came hours after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to produce internal documents connected to its sudden decision to end the 2020 Census count a month earlier than the Census Bureau had planned.

The problem here is a barrage of frivolous, racist, unlawful conduct by the Trump regime. What if the Supremes had consistently stood up against Trump’s illegal White Nationalist agenda starting with the Travel Ban cases?
At least for now, this is a major setback for the regime’s “Dred Scottification” agenda!
