A federal court ruled on Thursday that President Trump's order to exclude undocumented immigrants from census numbers for apportioning congressional districts is unlawful.
A unanimous three-judge panel for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York said in its decision that Trump's executive memorandum violates the executive branch's "constitutional responsibility to count the whole number of persons in each State and to apportion members of the House of Representatives among the States according to their respective numbers."
The ruling prohibits the Department of Commerce from reporting any information regarding undocumented immigrants in its census count that could be used to implement the president's directive.

These anti-American judges should be immediately disbarred for stupid decisions like this.
The palatalizing of the courts is truly one of the major disasters of our nation in the past 100 years..
What a bunch of bullsh!t!!
Do it anyway.
Why should felons incarcerated in a federal prison count in the census?
OK, let’s count 3/5 of them.
Time to amend the Constitution to count only US citizens.
No. It is an illegal ruling that must be ignored.”
I like that even better. The time has long passed for Trump to tell these Judges to shove it. This BS where they make their little rulings and declare them nation wide must stop. It is another second term item I fully expect him to execute. He knows at the end of the road Roberts is ready to join to girls and stab the nation in the back, again.
“If it does not ask if a member of the household is a citizen, how can the census exclude persons that are in the country illegally?”
There are non citizens who are here legally.
“There are non citizens who are here legally.”
Yes, but how can the Census determine if a person or persons in a household are in the country illegally?
Propose counting them as 3/5 of a person. It was a Yankee idea the first time around.
Trump needs to stop thinking he is only the president so long as all federal judges agree with him on every decision.
Blame the original writers of the constitution. They did some bone headed things. Yes its a great document but they screwed up in three ways. One didnt say citizen on census. They put persons. Second they didnt give a concrete American citizen for president. Instead went mushy. Third they didnt put English as official language. And they have caused a lot of hell since.
Ignore them.
Wonderful backwards look at the constitution. It seems they get representation without having to pay taxes.
A District Court from the notorious, criminal Southern District of New York?
Now who didn’t see that coming?
It’s not even a Circuit Court. This ruling will not hold on appeal.
Lol. 2/3rd of the senate and house to start. Still funny.
Why dont we outlaw the Democrat party? They have been evil since inception...with a few exceptions
What the judges don’t care about is the fact that the House is topped off at 435 members.
When a state like California or Texas has a huge influx of illegals and they are counted in the Census, then the states that don’t have an influx are robbed of their representatives in Congress because their representatives are taken and given to Texas and California. The people in these states are being disenfranchised by foreigners who are not even citizens of this country.
