IV. Last Chance for 2020 Census
The United States Supreme Court on Tuesday granted the Trump Administration’s request to halt the in-person census count, while an appeal plays out in a lower court. The emergency order comes after a U.S. Court of Appeals court last week denied a request from the Administration to reverse a District Court order requiring the count to continue through October.
Citizens can still be counted, however. But they will need to take the initiative. And they will need to do so quickly.
