NEW: @TheJusticeDept attorneys are planning to ask a federal judge to toss out a lawsuit by groups that want to block Trump administration from producing citizenship data that may politically benefit Republicans, according to latest court filing in @MALDEF @AAAJ_AAJC lawsuit👇
2. DOJ's filing is responding to an earlier request by @MALDEF @AAAJ_AAJC attys for court order to obtain documents of Thomas Hofeller, the GOP strategist who concluded redistricting based on US citizens old enough to vote could benefit Republicans & non-Hispanic white people.
3. On Friday, DOJ attorneys asked for this lawsuit to be reassigned to another judge. It is currently assigned to US District Judge George Hazel, who ruled to block a citizenship question from #2020Census.
