Trump admin to explain census exclusions to SCOTUS
Trump wants to exclude undocumented immigrants from the total population in the U.S. census
The Supreme Court agreed to listen to President Donald Trump’s arguments to exclude undocumented immigrants from the total population in the U.S. census.
The Supreme Court wants to give the Trump administration an opportunity to explain why adding probing citizenship questions to the 2020 census is necessary.
There have been several failed attempts by the Trump administration to prevent undocumented immigrants from being represented, The Washington Post reported.

One month ago, in the case of the State of New York v. Trump, a federal appeals court blocked the Commerce Department and the Census Bureau from including information on undocumented immigrants.
In July of this year, Trump said in a memorandum that some states are overcompensated in representation because of undocumented immigrants.
If the Supreme Court were to dismiss the census responses of undocumented immigrants, states like California, New Jersey, and Texas could have fewer House of Representative seats.
On Oct. 14, however, the Supreme Court did allowed the Trump administration to lower population counting for the census.
“[Trump] seeks to reallocate political power among the states and to weaken the political influence of states with larger populations of undocumented immigrants,” the challengers said in a court filing, Reuters reported.

They also alleged the change prevents people from participating in the census, saying it is a violation of both the Constitution and the Census Act.
The administration wanting to exclude undocumented immigrants comes before Trump’s third pick for the Supreme Court is sworn in. Amy Coney Barrett is set to take Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat.
If the Republican-controlled Senate approves Trump-nominated Barrett, six out nine seats will be controlled by conservative judges.

A man named Mikal Norman is said to be the third person wanted for the crime, with police asking the community to assist in the arrests, Local 10, an ABC-affiliated television station, reported.
On the day before Sept 11, several people opened fire in a crowded parking lot. Boyd was hit in the crossfire while he was walking to his vehicle, according to investigators.
Boyd was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital Ryder Trauma Center, but he died shortly after arriving. He was 54, according to Local 10.
His death sparked outrage by the community, uniting activists and police who posted a $5,000 reward for the names of those involved.
According to a Facebook Live video, there was an argument between two sets of people at the flee market parking lot before shots were fired.
The shooting occured when Local 10 reporters, Terrell Forney and Nick Lupo, were working on another story at the scene of the crime.

Boyd’s wife, Dorothy, was deeply affected by the loss of her husband, saying “He was my friend — my best friend, my fishing partner.”
“He was a great man.”
Social media has been rejoicing in the capture of Bell and Roberson.
