Case Summary

In March 2018, Secretary Ross and the Department of Commerce announced that a citizenship question would be added to the 2020 Census, because of a request from the Department of Justice for data to enforce the Voting Rights Act. A number of lawsuits followed, culminating in the Supreme Court affirming that the asserted reason for including the citizenship question — to aid in Voting Rights Act enforcement — was pretextual. Subsequently, President Trump, in a continued effort to attempt to exclu…

In March 2018, Secretary Ross and the Department of Commerce announced that a citizenship question would be added to the 2020 Census, because of a request from the Department of Justice for data to enforce the Voting Rights Act. A number of lawsuits followed, culminating in the Supreme Court affirming that the asserted reason for including the citizenship question — to aid in Voting Rights Act enforcement — was pretextual. Subsequently, President Trump, in a continued effort to attempt to exclude immigrants from the 2020 Census count, issued a Presidential Memorandum on July 21, 2020 entitled “Excluding Illegal Aliens From the Apportionment Base Following the 2020 Census." This memorandum essentially sought to accomplish the same ends as the 2018 action by the Department of Commerce. Although no citizenship question appeared in the 2020 Census, the President asserted plans to exclude "aliens who are not in a lawful immigration status under the Immigration and Nationality Act" for the reapportionment following the Census.

On July 28, 2020 the State of California, the City of Los Angeles, the City of Long Beach, the City of Oakland, and the Los Angeles Unified School District filed this lawsuit for declaratory and injunction relief in the Northern District of California. Specifically, the plaintiffs sought declaratory and injunctive relief to prevent its implementation under the Administrative Procedure Act. The plaintiffs alleged that President Trump’s July 21 Memorandum violates the constitutional mandates for the census (actual enumeration and apportionment) and the separation of powers under U.S. Const. art. I § 1 and U.S. Const. art. II § 3, as well as violating the Census Act. In addition, the plaintiffs alleged that the defendants would not be able to accurately exclude undocumented immigrants from the apportionment count given the "'lack of accurate estimates of the resident undocumented population' on a state-by-state basis."

The case was initially assigned to Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley, but was reassigned twice – first to Edward M. Chen, then to Lucy H. Koh. Per the request of Judge Koh, on August 20, 2020, Chief Judge Sidney R. Thomas of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order designating a three-judge court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2284, a federal statute that requires convening a three-judge court in cases that challenge the constitutionality of the apportionment of congressional districts. Following this order, Judge Richard R. Clifton of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and Judge Edward M. Chen of the Northern District of California were assigned to this case along with Judge Koh.

On August 21, 2020, Judge Lucy Koh issued an order relating this case with National Urban League v. Ross, and City of San Jose v. Trump.

On August 24, 2020, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The complaint added the County of Los Angeles as a plaintiff and added an allegation of an additional violation of the Census Act.

On September 10, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss and for partial summary judgment.
A three-judge panel granted plaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment and denied defendants’ motion to dismiss, or for partial summary judgment on October 22, 2020. The court held that the plaintiffs had standing based on (1) apportionment injury—the risk of losing congressional representation—and (2) census degradation injury, including harms to redistricting, federal funding, and governmental functions dependent on accurate census data. The court held that the Presidential Memorandum was unconstitutional, violated the Census Act and the Reapportionment Act, and violated separation of powers. As a result, the court granted both declaratory relief and a permanent injunction, barring implementation of the Presidential Memorandum and extending the injunction to all census reports. Defendants were enjoined from providing information concerning the number of undocumented immigrants to inform a census report. 

On October 23, 2020, defendants filed a Notice of Appeal to the Supreme Court and a Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (docket nos. 20-561 and 20-17105). 

The following month, the Ninth Circuit issued an order granting the appellant’s motion for a stay, pending the resolution of Trump v. City of San Jose on November 10, 2020. The appellants were required to file status reports every 90 days while the case remained pending. On December 28, 2020, the Supreme Court remanded City of San Jose to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California with instructions to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. 

Finally, on January 21, 2021, the Ninth Circuit granted the defendants’ unopposed motion for voluntary dismissal of the appeal. The case is now closed.
