Common Cause Files Supreme Court Brief in Census Citizenship Case
Today, Common Cause filed an amicus brief in the United States Supreme Court in Trump v. New York, urging the court to uphold the three lower court rulings blocking the Trump administrationโs attempt to omit undocumented immigrants from the census numbers used for the apportionment of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Three lower courts have ruled that President Trumpโs memorandum ordering this unprecedented change violates the U.S. Constitution and federal statutes governing the census and apportionment.
