Trump administration will pay California $ 846 thousands due to citizenship issue during census
The Trump administration agreed to pay $ 846 000 to the state of California as part of a settlement related to the administration’s efforts to add the issue of citizenship to the US Census.
Fox News says California earlier sued the Trump administration earlier this year for fears that citizenship issues in the census would scare minorities.
In June, the US Supreme Court rejected the administration’s argument that it should be added. The court called this issue “far-fetched” and called on the White House to provide other reasons for obtaining data.
By ruling 5-4, Chief Justice John Roberts sided with liberal lawyers. Conservative judges opposed the California lawsuit.

President Trump later unveiled the court ruling in a Twitter post.
“It seems completely ridiculous that our government and the country cannot ask the basic question of citizenship in the framework of the very expensive, detailed and important census of 2020 of the year,” the president wrote.
“I asked lawyers if they could postpone the census until ... The United States Supreme Court was provided with additional information by which it could make a final and well-defined decision on this very important issue?” He added.
California claimed it could lose billions in funding if minorities were underrepresented in the census.
In the event of a settlement, the administration will pay California a fee for attorney services and related staff costs.
The administration said it would receive citizenship information from other sources.
