The U.S. Supreme Court will begin a hearing Tuesday on whether to include the citizenship question in the U.S. Census. Several advocacy groups and localities will argue that the question is a deterrent for non-citizens filling out the form. Ahead of Monday’s hearing, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) shared its “elevator pitch” on everything wrong with the citizenship question. The video featured American actor and comedian Ike Barinholtz. According to the video, the question will prompt 6.5 million people to not respond.

 

Arguing that immigrant populations will “freak out” over the question, the other actor said, “Can you really blame people, especially immigrants and people with immigrants in their families if they don’t really feel like sharing information with this administration?”

 

Last year the U.S. Department of Justice requested the move from the Census Bureau arguing that it will reinforce the Voting Rights Act. The U.S. Department of Commerce distributes the Census. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said he will support the move. The question appeared on census forms 70 years ago. According to the Commerce Department, the question already appears on the annually distributed American Community Survey.

 

“It is worth noting that the citizenship question does not ask about a person’s legal status; it merely asks about citizenship status and thus has nothing whatsoever to do with immigration enforcement.” wrote Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton last year, “In fact, federal law prevents census data from being used for anything other than statistical analysis. That is the law and there is no evidence any agency intends to violate it.”

 

According to the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), accounting for non-citizens in the census results in a redistribution of seats in the House of Representatives and votes in the electoral college.

 

The left argues that the Trump administration is driven to promote a racist agenda to exclude immigrants. However, Fox News Contributor Deroy Murdock argues that the “data would help policymakers allocate tax dollars for civics classes, naturalization personnel, and other efforts at inclusion and assimilation.”

 

Ultimately, the highest court will begin to find an answer this controversial question.

BOSTON – Two defendants will plead guilty to charges in connection with using bribery and other forms of fraud to facilitate the admission of applicants to selective colleges and universities.

 

Laura Janke, 36, of North Hollywood, Calif., a former assistant coach of women’s soccer at the University of Southern California (USC), will plead guilty to conspiracy to commit racketeering and will cooperate with the government’s investigation. Janke was previously indicted along with 11 other defendants.

 

Toby MacFarlane, 56, of Del Mar, Calif., a former senior executive at a title insurance company, will plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud. MacFarlane was previously charged by criminal complaint.

 

The defendants were charged in March 2019 with conspiring with William “Rick” Singer, 58, of Newport Beach, Calif., and other parents, coaches and university administrators, to use bribery and other forms of fraud to secure the admission of students to selective colleges and universities and to cheat on college entrance exams. According to court documents, MacFarlane paid $450,000 to facilitate the admission of his children to USC as purported athletic recruits. Specifically, on Oct. 3, 2013, Singer emailed MacFarlane’s daughter’s high school transcript and college exam scores to Janke and another defendant. Soon after, Singer caused a purported charitable organization he established, the Key Worldwide Foundation (KWF), to wire $50,000 to a private soccer club controlled by Janke and the other defendant. Using materials provided by MacFarlane and Singer, Janke then created a falsified soccer profile for MacFarlane’s daughter, falsely describing her as a “US Club Soccer All American” in high school. MacFarlane’s daughter was presented to the USC subcommittee for athletic admissions as a purported soccer recruit, and was accepted to USC in March 2014. On May 2, 2014, MacFarlane issued a $200,000 check to the Edge College & Career Network LLC (“The Key”) – Singer’s for-profit college counseling and preparation business – with “Real Estate Consulting & Analysis” written in the memo line. On May 12, 2014, Singer issued a $100,000 payment to the private soccer club which Janke partly controlled….
