In Tuesday's order, the District Court Judges said the District Court Judge Jesse Furman issued a request for Ross to sit for a deposition. Such orders are not appealable at an early stage of litigation, so requests to overturn are rarely granted.

"The District Court's Order of the Secretary of the Court of Justice" does not amount to "a judicial usurpation of power or a clear abuse of discretion," the 2nd Circuit order said.

"The Trump administration has pulled out all the stops to try to prevent us from taking over the record for its reasons for adding a citizenship question to the Census — a major last-minute disruption to the census that every expert on demographics and census research says will drive down Census participation, costing states and counties with immigrant communities critical resources and political representation, "Ho said.

"As the District Court hearing this case, these requests by the Trump Administration to short-circuit fact-finding in our lawsuit are 'frivolous,' and every court to consider them has the same. – what do they have to hide? " the ACLU attorney added.
