Trump to announce executive action on census citizenship question
By Jordan Fabian and Brett Samuels - 07/11/19 08:46 AM EDT
President Trump on Thursday plans to announce an executive action related to the census, according to a White House official.
The action is expected to address the citizenship question that the Supreme Court recently blocked the administration from adding to the 2020 census. Trump tweeted that he will hold a news conference in the afternoon “on the Census and Citizenship.â€
White House officials declined to discuss the content of the executive action, but said it may not be a full-blown executive order.
Trump has hinted in recent days that he may use an executive order to force the inclusion of a citizenship question on census forms following the high court’s decision in late June.
