大統領 Donald Trump on Sunday let slip the 的 date for transmitting the apportionment numbers to 議会 as the U.S. 国勢(人口)調査 Bureau continued to work toward 直す/買収する,八百長をするing data 不正行為s from its number-crunching 成果/努力s.

Under 連邦の 法律, the 大統領,/社長 is 要求するd to を引き渡す the numbers to 議会 showing the number of people in each 明言する/公表する within the first week of the start of 議会 in the year に引き続いて a once-a-10年間 長,率いる count of every U.S. 居住(者). There are no 刑罰,罰則s for 行方不明の the 最終期限.

The 大統領,/社長's tardiness stemmed from the 商務省, which 監督するs the 国勢(人口)調査 Bureau, 行方不明の a year-end 的 date for giving the apportionment numbers to the 大統領,/社長, 予定 to the pandemic and 不正行為s that were discovered while crunching data from the 2020 国勢(人口)調査 on a 縮めるd schedule.

The earliest date the apportionment numbers will be ready is March 6, nearly a month past the Feb. 9 date 公表する/暴露するd last week, as the 国勢(人口)調査 Bureau 直す/買収する,八百長をするs anomalies discovered during data 過程ing, 司法省 弁護士/代理人/検事s said Monday during a 法廷,裁判所 審理,公聴会.

副 Assistant 司法長官 John Coghlan said during the 審理,公聴会 there were no new 不正行為s, but that the ones 公表する/暴露するd last week needed more time to 訂正する.

The 司法省 is 代表するing the 商務省 and 国勢(人口)調査 Bureau in a 訴訟 とじ込み/提出するd by a 連合 of municipalities and advocacy groups in 連邦の 法廷,裁判所 in San Jose, California.

If the March date 持つ/拘留するs, the 国勢(人口)調査 Bureau will not finish 過程ing the numbers until weeks after Trump leaves office Jan. 20, putting in jeopardy an 前例のない order by the 大統領,/社長 to 除外する people in the country 不法に from those 人物/姿/数字s. 大統領-elect Joe Biden …に反対するs the order, which was 奮起させるd by an infl uential GOP 助言者 who wrote that 除外するing them from the apportionment 過程 would 好意 共和国の/共和党のs and 非,不,無-Hispanic whites.

Last week, Biden 発表するd that Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo will be his 指名された人 for 商業 長官, which would make her 責任がある the final 2020 国勢(人口)調査 numbers instead of 現在の 商業 長官 Wilbur Ross, if 国勢(人口)調査 data 過程ing continues past Jan. 20.

The 憲法 明言する/公表するs that the apportionment 過程 is based on "the whole number of persons in each 明言する/公表する." Trump´s apportionment order was challenged in more than a half-dozen 訴訟s across the U.S. But the 最高裁判所 支配するd last month that any challenge was premature.

The San Jose 訴訟 was 初めは brought by a 連合 of municipalities and advocacy groups that had 告訴するd the Trump 行政 stop the 国勢(人口)調査 from ending 早期に out of 関心s that a 縮めるd 長,率いる count would 原因(となる) 少数,小数派 communities to be undercounted. The 連合 of municipalities and advocacy groups 現在/一般に is 捜し出すing data and 文書s to help 査定する/(税金などを)課す the 正確 of the 2020 国勢(人口)調査, 説 a 縮めるd timeline for 過程ing the data will 妥協 its 質.

The 連合 says 司法省 弁護士/代理人/検事s have 繰り返して 辞退するd to turn over 法廷,裁判所-ordered 文書s, and the 連合 is 捜し出すing 許可/制裁s of $5,000 a day until they do so.

"They have done so 正確に so that 被告s `best-国勢(人口)調査-ever!' 主張s ... can never be fully 実験(する)d," 連合 弁護士/代理人/検事s said in a 法廷,裁判所 とじ込み/提出するing.

U.S. 地区 裁判官 Lucy Koh said at Monday's 審理,公聴会 that she was disappointed that the 政府 弁護士/代理人/検事s hadn't produced more 文書s. Koh is 統括するing over the 訴訟, but a separate パネル盤 of 治安判事 裁判官s is deciding whether to agree to the 許可/制裁s.

"I see obstruction and I don´t see 協調 and I don´t think that´s a good look for the 司法省," Koh said.

The 司法省 弁護士/代理人/検事s have said 許可/制裁s are 不適切な. 治める/統治する ment 弁護士/代理人/検事s said at Monday's 審理,公聴会 that they have been 圧倒するd by the 容積/容量 of requests from the 原告/提訴人s' 弁護士/代理人/検事s.

"We are in a 穴を開ける, and we are trying to get out of the 穴を開ける as dirt is 存在 注ぐd on us, said Brad Rosenberg, a 司法省 弁護士/代理人/検事.
