NEW: Challengers in Nat'l Urban League-led lawsuit over shortened #2020Census schedule are asking US District Judge Lucy Koh to penalize Trump admin for allegedly violating her order by requiring weekly compliance reports & texting field staff about order

2. Plaintiffs are asking for weekly compliance reports from Census Bureau that track:
- communication to #2020Census workers re: end dates
- termination of workers
- changes to operations/metrics for making a housing unit as "complete"

3. Plaintiffs are also asking for the weekly reports to include a sworn statement from Census Bureau Director Steven Dillingham "unequivocally confirming ongoing compliance with the Court’s order."

4. Plaintiffs are asking Judge Koh to order the Census Bureau to reopen any housing-unit cases that were closed based on criteria from the shortened #2020Census schedule and try to "accurately enumerate that household."

5. Plaintiffs ask Judge Koh to amend her earlier court order "to prevent further attempts at circumvention during the limited time remaining to conduct the 2020 Census."

6. To be clear, even though Judge Koh said she was open to starting contempt proceedings against the Trump admin (and despite what you may read in headlines), the plaintiffs are *not* asking Koh to hold the admin in contempt "at this time."

7. UPDATE: Challengers in the Nat'l Urban League-led lawsuit over the #2020Census schedule are asking U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh to issue a new temporary restraining order against the Trump administration:
