Federal judge blocks Justice efforts to remove lawyers in census citizenship case



[ad_1]

A federal judge in New York on Tuesday rejected the Justice Department's request to remove his lawyers in the middle of a case challenging the administration's efforts to add a citizenship issue to the 2020 census.

On Sunday, the Ministry of Justice declared that it was replacing the legal team charged with defending the citizenship issue. It explains no explanation for this change, which occurred in the midst of a protracted conflict over whether the administration's arguments for adding the question could be believed.

This story will be updated.
