'We're thinking about doing that,' Trump said of an executive order. 'It's one of the ways—we have four or five ways we could do it. We're doing well on the census.'
President Donald Trump isn't relenting in efforts for his administration to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, despite the Supreme Court already blocking such an attempt.
Trump further said he believes he has several options to add the question, which critics have opposed because they argue it would deter minorities and undocumented people from responding. The census is used to redraw congressional districts based on populations and could impact the political landscape of Congress for a decade.
President Donald Trump speaks to the media before signing a bill for border funding in the Oval Office at the White House on July 1 in Washington, DC.In a major reversal from his own administration, Trump said in a tweet Wednesday he was"absolutely moving forward" with the citizenship question.

If judicial review is to be more than an empty ritual, it must demand something better than the explanation offered for the action taken in this case," Roberts wrote."We do not hold that the agency decision here was substantively invalid.
