NEW YORK (Reuters) - A federal judge on Tuesday ordered President Donald Trump’s administration to hand information about its plan to ask people filling out the 2020 census form whether they are U.S. citizens over to a group of states and cities suing the administration over the question.

At a hearing in Manhattan federal court, U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman also said he would likely deny the administration’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

The plaintiffs have said that the census question could lead to undercounting in states with large immigrant populations, jeopardizing their political representation and access to federal funds.

New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood, whose office has taken a leading role in the case, called the ruling a “major win” in a statement.

Filibuster every bill. Keep McConnell busy.
