Trump v. Useche
Judgment vacated and case remanded to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland with instructions to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, on December 28, 2020
Issues: (1) Whether the relief entered — a
three-judge district court declared that the president's memorandum, which instructed the commerce secretary to include in the report on the decennial census information about people living in the country illegally,
was unlawful and enjoined the secretary from including the
information in his report —
satisfies the requirements of Article III of the Constitution; and (2) whether the memorandum is a permissible exercise of the president’s discretion under the provisions
of law governing congressional apportionment.
