Dennie & Brianna Cea On November 30, 2020, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in T umnv.ew _York. The case concerns a challenge to President Trump's M, which attempts to remove undocumented immigrants from the state-population totals that the Census Bureau produces to reapportion seats in the U.S. House of Representatives among the states. The Court has received over 25 friend-of-the-court briefs from an array of civil rights groups, current and former federal officials, state and local governments, scholars, businesses, and others. To help sort through the filings, the Brennan Center has prepared this annotated guide summarizing each brief's most prominent or unique points.

And for the latest on other challenges facing the 2020 Census, visit our Briefs Discussing the History of the Census and Apportionment Summary: This brief, filed by a group of prominent census historians and social scientists, explains that the census historically has been a measure of population, not political membership. As such, the brief continues, the population base used for apportionment has-for the entire history of the census-included all persons residing in the United States without regard to citizenship or immigration status. The brief additionally provides historical evidence that both the Framers and the drafters of the Fourteenth Amendment intended an inclusive apportionment base, and that later Congresses reaffirmed this principle by repeatedly rejecting as unconstitutional proposals to exclude noncitizen residents. The law firms Cravath, Swain, and Moore LLP and Haynes and Boone LLP are co-counsel on this brief.
