Dale Ho, director of the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Voting Rights Project, argued a challenge to the Trump administration's policy before the U.S. Supreme Court last year, and had the following reaction to today鈥檚 developments:
鈥淧resident Trump tried and failed throughout his entire presidency to weaponize the census for his attacks on immigrant communities. It appears he has failed yet again.
