Trump, 'not backing down' in effort to count citizens amid census fight, announces executive order

By Gregg Re | Fox News



Trump orders federal departments, agencies to provide citizenship records: We will leave no stone unturned

"We will leave no stone unturned," Trump asserted. He called legal opposition to adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census "meritless," but said the ongoing judicial morass in several federal district courts made it logistically impossible to resolve the matter before the 2020 census forms needed to be printed.

Speaking after Trump, Attorney General Bill Barr said the information collected via the executive order could be useful in determining the makeup of the Electoral College and congressional apportionment.
