The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday agreed to decide whether President Donald Trump has legal authority to exclude undocumented immigrants from his census-based report to Congress for reapportionment of U.S. House seats.
The justices said they will hear arguments in the case Trump v. New York on Nov. 30 in the administration’s appeal of a three-judge district court decision that struck down a July 21 Trump memorandum ordering the Commerce Department secretary to include the immigrant information in the census report.
