Case Summary

On August 18, 2020, a coalition of cities, counties, Indian tribes, advocacy organizations, and individuals represented by the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights, the Brennan Center for Justice, and the law firm Latham & Watkins LLP sued the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Department”), the Department Secretary, the U.S. Census Bureau (“Bureau”), and the Bureau Director in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants violated the U.S…

On August 18, 2020, a coalition of cities, counties, Indian tribes, advocacy organizations, and individuals represented by the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights, the Brennan Center for Justice, and the law firm Latham & Watkins LLP sued the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Department”), the Department Secretary, the U.S. Census Bureau (“Bureau”), and the Bureau Director in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants violated the U.S. Constitution and the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) by abandoning the Bureau’s COVID-19 plans and pursuing a “rush plan” that would truncate 2020 Census timelines, undercount communities of color, and produce inaccurate census results. The plaintiffs asked the Court to declare the rush plan unconstitutional under the Enumeration Clause and unlawful under the APA; to vacate the rush plan and reinstate the Covid-19 Plan; and to enjoin the defendants from implementing the rush plan or otherwise interfering with the Covid-19 plan. The case was assigned to Judge Lucy H. Koh.

This case was brought amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, which severely disrupted the 2020 Census by suspending operations and creating significant delays in counting processes. In response, the Bureau implemented a COVID-19 plan delaying operations timelines to give the Bureau enough time to ensure the quality and accuracy of 2020 Census data. The COVID-19 plan extended the deadline for reporting state population totals to the President from December 31, 2020 to April 30, 2021, and the deadline for reporting redistricting numbers to the states from March 31, 2020 to July 31, 2021.

Then, on August 3, 2020, the Secretary of Commerce and the Census Bureau Director abruptly reversed course and announced that the Bureau would abandon the COVID-19 plan and adopt a rush plan. The rush plan required states to comply with the original 2020 Census deadlines, forcing them to complete 7.5 months of data collection and processing work in roughly half the time. The Bureau’s about-face was criticized by census experts, who concluded that the rush plan would significantly undermine the quality of the 2020 Census by undercounting communities of color, especially undocumented immigrants.

In their complaint, plaintiffs alleged that (1) the Bureau violated its duty under the Enumeration Clause to make census-related decisions that “bear a reasonable relationship to the accomplishment of an actual enumeration of the population,” and (2) the Bureau’s decision to abandon its COVID-19 plans and pursue the rush plan was arbitrary and capricious under the APA because the Bureau did not adequately explain its decision, and (3) the explanation the Bureau provided was pretextual. In sum, the plaintiffs argued that the Bureau abandoned the COVID-19 plan and pursued the rush plan in a thinly veiled attempt to exclude undocumented people from the state population totals used to apportion the U.S. House of Representatives, which would result in a more favorable post-Census apportionment for the Republican Party.

On September 5, 2020, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary restraining order, enjoining the Bureau from implementing the rush plan until the court conducted a hearing on the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction. 2020 WL 5291452. On September 17, 2020, the Court extended the order up to seven days or until the Court ruled on the plaintiffs’ motion, whichever came first, in part because the defendants failed to produce the administrative record pursuant to a court order. 2020 WL 5578931. In the meantime, Louisiana and Mississippi moved to intervene in the case, arguing that the states had significant protectable interests in the matter that were not adequately represented by the parties. The states also warned that the plaintiffs aimed to “pad the census count in certain jurisdictions.” The plaintiffs opposed the states’ motion to intervene on October 7, 2020.

In a 78-page ruling on September 24, 2020, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction, holding that the rush plan was likely arbitrary and capricious; that plaintiffs would suffer irreparable harm without an injunction; that the balance of hardships tipped sharply in plaintiffs’ favor; and that a preliminary injunction was in the public interest. 489 F. Supp. 3d 939. The injunction order stayed the rush plan deadlines for completing data collection and for reporting total state population totals and enjoined the defendants from implementing them.

The next day, September 25, 2020, the Court denied the federal government’s motion to stay the Court’s order pending appeal in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The government appealed to the Ninth Circuit, requesting an immediate administrative stay and filing an emergency motion to stay the preliminary injunction pending appeal. On September 30, 2020, in a partial ruling on the government’s appeal, the Ninth Circuit denied the government’s request for an immediate administrative stay because it would have “upended, rather than preserved” the status quo. 2020 WL 5815054.

While the parties awaited the Ninth Circuit’s decision on the government’s emergency motion to stay, the district court issued a clarifying order addressing numerous allegations of defendants’ noncompliance with the original temporary restraining order and the preliminary injunction. 491 F. Supp. 3d 572. In the October 1, 2020, order, the Court specified the scope of the injunction and ordered tailored relief to ensure defendants complied with it. This relief included direct text messages from the Bureau Director to all Bureau employees informing them of the injunction and the new census deadlines, as well as a sworn affidavit from the Bureau Director declaring that the Bureau was complying with the injunction order. Finally, the Court denied as moot plaintiffs’ September 30, 2020, motion to compel and for sanctions for defendants’ noncompliance with court orders, and plaintiffs’ September 30, 2020, motion for a temporary restraining order pending the Court’s ruling on plaintiff’s motion to compel and for sanctions.

One week later, on October 7, 2020, the Ninth Circuit granted in part and denied in part the government’s emergency motion to stay the preliminary injunction pending appeal, holding that the government was entitled to a stay to the extent that the district court enjoined it from abiding by existing statutory deadlines but was not entitled to a stay regarding the implementation of the rush plan. 977 F.3d 770. Under this order, the census count had to continue until October 31, 2020.

The government appealed to the Supreme Court, which stayed the injunction on October 13, 2020, pending the disposition of the government’s Ninth Circuit appeal and the government’s petition for writ of certiorari. 141 S. Ct. 18. This stay allowed the Census Bureau to cease its counting operations in accordance with the rush plan.

The defendants generally concluded field operations for the census on October 15, 2020.

The plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on October 27, 2020. The amended complaint was filed to in an effort to show why the recent litigation developments required expedited resolution on the merits. Because the new census plan cut in half the amount of time for conducting the decennial census, the plaintiffs argued that only expedited permanent relief could ensure a fair, accurate, and complete 2020 census.

President Joe Biden was elected President of the United States in November 2020. On January 15, 2021, the parties filed a joint case management statement, in which the parties requested a 21-day state of the case in order to let the Biden Administration assess the case. The parties subsequently requested additional stays as they worked toward resolution of the case, and the court granted these requests.

On April 22, 2021, the court granted a proposed stipulation order for dismissal. The order stated that the census would not include any information on citizenship or immigration status. It also provided that the Census Bureau would continue its data processing with an anticipated end-date of April 30, 2021. The Census Bureau also agreed to provide metrics to gauge the reliability of the census data that had been collected. Finally, the defendants agreed to pay $1,500,000 in attorneys' fees and $150,000 in costs.

With the order of dismissal, the case is now closed.
