NEW YORK (Reuters) – A panel of judges on Thursday declared unlawful a recent directive from President Donald Trump to exclude people who are in the United States illegally from representation when apportioning congressional seats.
The decision by a three-judge panel, which could be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, is a victory for the 38 U.S. states, cities and counties, plus several immigrants rights nonprofits, that sued over the July 21 directive.
