NEW YORK 鈥� A federal court has granted in part a request from the 老澳门开奖结果 and partners for sanctions stemming from their lawsuit successfully blocking the Trump administration from adding a citizenship question to the 2020 U.S. census.

The 老澳门开奖结果, New York Civil Liberties Union, and Arnold & Porter had challenged the administration over the issue, and sought the sanctions due to the administration鈥檚 repeated lies in court. Sanctions were granted today by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman.

Dale Ho, director of the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Voting Rights Project, had this reaction: 鈥淭he court has reaffirmed that the Trump administration鈥檚 鈥榦fficial story concealed their true reasons鈥� for attempting to add a citizenship question to the census. It also found that the Department of Justice鈥檚 conduct in this case was 鈥榥ot DOJ鈥檚 finest hour,鈥� marred 鈥榖y a lapse that would make a first-year litigation associate wince.鈥� We couldn鈥檛 agree more. The court appropriately imposed monetary penalties on the administration, which will finally bring this litigation to an end.鈥�

The lawsuit was brought on behalf of Casa de Maryland, American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, ADC Research Institute, New York Immigration Coalition, and Make the Road.
