Faith and community leaders with Faith in Action (formerly PICO National Network) thanked the Supreme Court for its decision in Department of Commerce v. New York, rejecting a citizenship question for now. The court’s decision followed a last-minute appeal by the Trump administration asking the justices to disregard recent lower court rulings against adding the citizenship question to the census after new evidence came to light illuminating the administration’s push was part of an effort to discriminate against Latinos and non-citizens.
