A federal judge on Tuesday denied the latest attempt by the Trump administration to delay an outcome in the trial over the legality of a question about citizenship being added to the 2020 U.S. Census.

U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman of the Southern District of New York called the administration’s motion to halt the litigation while the U.S. Supreme Court considers a prior decision on discovery in the case its “latest and strangest effort” to stay proceedings.
