Thursday round-up

Briefly:

• For The Wall Street Journal, Jess Bravin reports that a federal judge in Maryland said Wednesday that President Trumps public remarks about immigrants and personal insistence on placing a citizenship question on the census could help determine whether the government intended to discriminate against Hispanics by adding the query.
• At The George Washington Law Reviews On the Docket blog, Robin Maher writes that although [t]he decision [inFlowers v. Mississippi, in which the court held that a prosecutors repeated use of peremptory challenges to remove black people from the jury pool violated the Constitution], is very welcome, Supreme Court decisions will not end racial jury discrimination.
• At Take Care, Joshua Matz address[es] three of the most common argumentsagainst protecting transgender people under Title VII in the latest of a series of posts about a case next term that presents the question.
