The legal fight over the controversial citizenship question on the 2020 census is likely to continue at San Francisco federal court.
“I believe the case will proceed,” U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg said Friday during a hearing on whether to dismiss two of the lawsuits against the Census Bureau and the Commerce Department, which oversees the census.
Seeborg did not issue a formal ruling from the bench, but he pushed back on many of the Justice Department attorneys’ arguments in support of Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross’ decision to add a question about U.S. citizenship status — a topic the Census Bureau has not asked all U.S. households for the national head count since 1950.
