“Judge Orders Commerce Secretary To Testify About Census Citizenship Question”

NPR:

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to make its main official behind the 2020 census citizenship question — Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross — available to testify out of court for the lawsuits over the hotly contested question.

“Secretary Ross must sit for a deposition because, among other things, his intent and credibility are directly at issue in these cases,” U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman wrote in an opinion filed Friday with Manhattan federal court.
