SCOTUS hands Trump a win in bid to exclude non-citizens from 2020 Census:

The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a challenge to President Trump’s bid to exclude millions of undocumented immigrants from the 2020 Census, handing the administration a win.

In a 6-3 ruling, the bench called the challenge led by New York and immigrant rights groups “premature” because the consequences and exact targets of the president’s actions were still “conjecture.”

“At present, this case is riddled with contingencies and speculation that impede judicial review,” the high court said.

“The President, to be sure, has made clear his desire to exclude aliens without lawful status from the apportionment base.”

“But the President qualified his directive by providing that the Secretary should gather information ‘to the extent practicable’ and that aliens should be excluded ‘to the extent feasible,'” they added. --->READ MORE HERE

Supreme Court Rules Against Counting Illegal Immigrants For Congressional Redistricting:

The U.S. Supreme Court dismissed a challenge to President Donald Trump’s plan to not include illegal immigrants living in the U.S. in the count to determine congressional districts, Reuters reported Friday.

The court ruled 6-3 against a lawsuit attempting to block Trump’s plan to exclude illegal immigrants from the count, Reuters reported. The ruling said “judicial resolution of this dispute is premature” because the Trump administration’s plans are unclear.

“At present, this case is riddled with contingencies and speculation that impede judicial review,” the ruling said, according to Reuters. The court was not considering the merit of Trump’s plan to keep illegal immigrants from counting towards the total.

“The President, to be sure, has made clear his desire to exclude aliens without lawful status from the apportionment base,” the Supreme Court ruled. “But the President qualified his directive by providing that the Secretary should gather information “’to the extent practicable’ and that aliens should be excluded ‘to the extent feasible.'” --->READ MORE HERE
