Supreme Court allows trial in census case to proceed

The Supreme Court late Friday refused the Trump administration's request to postpone a trial in lawsuits challenging its decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census.

The court rejected the administration's request without explanation. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, of the high court's conservative wing, said they would have granted the application.

The trial, which is scheduled to start Monday, stems from a lawsuit 17-blue leaning states and a handful of cities brought against the administration. The case was consolidated with a separate challenge brought by immigrant rights groups.
