Today Representative Dina Titus of Nevada's First Congressional District released the following statement in response to the Supreme Court's decision in Department of Commerce v. New York, in which the majority found "a significant mismatch between the decision the Secretary made and the rationale he provided" and sent the case back to the district court:

"The Trump Administration's effort to add a citizenship question to the census is a disgraceful attempt to rig election outcomes and silence communities of color," said Congresswoman Titus (NV-1). "The Supreme Court's decision makes clear that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross misled Congress and the American people about his true intentions. He should resign. We cannot be silent about this attack on our schools, our hospitals, our roads, and our voting power."
