NEW: The Trump administration must release more internal documents for #2020census citizenship question lawsuits that @TheJusticeDept attorneys had withheld because of deliberative process privilege, U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman orders.👇
2. From Judge Furman’s opinion: These documents about #2020census citizenship Q “are not protected by the deliberative process privilege because they merely ‘reflect deliberations about what “message” should be delivered to the public about an already-decided policy decision.’ “
3. And don’t forget it👇

4. Here’s my thread on what we’ve learned from already-released internal documents about the #2020census citizenship question👇

Over past 3+ months, I've read 12,000+ pages of internal docs the Trump admin has released for #2020census citizenship question lawsuits. I've been reporting on how @SecretaryRoss' explanation of how this Q ended up on census has suffered blow after blow w each document dump 👇
@SecretaryRoss 2. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross oversees the census. He's testified in Congress that Justice Department initiated citizenship Q request in Dec 2017 & he was "responding solely" to that. In March, he announced he approved adding question to forms every US household has to answer
@SecretaryRoss 3. After the announcement, I was having trouble keeping up w all the lawsuits that started popping up. Right now, more than 2 dozen states/cities, plus other groups, are suing the Trump admin in 6 lawsuits around the country. These lawsuits required the release of internal docs.

CONFIRMED: @TheJusticeDept initially "did not want to raise" citizenship Q request for #2020census when approached by @CommerceGov beginning in May 2017 "given the difficulties Justice was encountering in the press at the time (the whole Comey matter)" 👇

@TheJusticeDept @CommerceGov 2. You may have seen this newly unredacted email tweeted out earlier:





U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman ordered it be released by Trump administration today.
@TheJusticeDept @CommerceGov 3. Unredacted version of memo was filed w Manhattan fed court by plaintiffs' attys @NewYorkStateAG office, @ACLU, @NYCLU, @arnoldporter. They are urging Judge Furman to order deposition of @SecretaryRoss, whose conduct has been - in the attys' words - "astonishing, unprecedented"

The U.S. gov't is going to ask you some personal questions in 2020.

Tuesday is your last chance to submit feedback on those questions here: regulations.gov/docket?D=USBC-….

But before you do, here's a thread on the major changes with the #2020census Qs 👇

npr.org/2018/03/29/598…
2. You've probably been hearing a lot about the new citizenship question. Here's how it's worded and some background on why it's sparked six lawsuits 👇 apps.npr.org/documents/docu…
3. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who oversees #2020census, approved adding citizenship Q. Ross has said Justice Department "initiated" request for Q. But internal emails & memos make clear Ross pushed his staff to add Q months before DOJ's request 👇
