A federal judge in San Francisco has issued a decision finding that the Trump administration’s decision to add a question about citizenship to the 2020 U.S. Census was “arbitrary and capricious.”

In a 126-page ruling issued Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg of the Northern District of California found that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross decided to add the question despite evidence provided by Census Bureau officials that it would likely significantly depress the response rates in noncitizen and Latino communities. Seeborg found that the decision violated the Administrative Procedure Act, a similar conclusion that Jesse Furman of the Southern District of New York reached in a January decision in a similar legal challenge to the question.
