A pair of lawsuits challenging plans to include a question on the 2020 census about individuals’ immigration status survived a motion to dismiss and will be able to proceed on Administrative Procedure Act and due-process grounds, U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman of the Southern District of New York ordered Thursday.

The suits’ survival at least provides an avenue for the states and immigration organizations attempting to challenge the move by the administration of President Donald Trump to succeed, despite Furman’s decision to grant the dismissal of some of the claims.
