 Democrats Accuse the Trump Administration of Playing Politics with 2020 Census During Politically-Charged Press Conference

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi gathered with fellow Democrats on May 8 to argue that the Trump administration decided to include a citizenship question in the 2020 census as part of a partisan effort to “starve communities” of vital resources and undercount minorities.

In March, Commerce Department Secretary Wilbur Ross announceda “question on citizenship status” would be reinstated to the 2020 Census questionnaire “to help enforce the Voting Rights Act.” The decision was prompted by a request from the Justice Department to add a citizenship question.
