President Trump said Thursday his administration is working "very hard" on the Fourth of July in a last-ditch effort to find a way to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census after a federal judge gave the administration a Friday deadline.
"So important for our Country that the very simple and basic 'Are you a Citizen of the United States?' question be allowed to be asked in the 2020 Census. Department of Commerce and the Department of Justice are working very hard on this, even on the 4th of July!" Trump tweeted.
