NEW: DOJ attorney John Coghlan tells a federal court in Maryland the Trump admin doesn't know what groups of unauthorized immigrants — other than those in ICE detention centers — it could feasibly exclude from the census numbers used to reallocate House seats per Trump's memo.
2. But the three-judge court in Maryland sounded very skeptical that the Census Bureau does not have plans given what the bureau's Associate Director Al Fontenot said in this court filing:
3. At multiple points, the 3-judge court asked, and DOJ attorney John Coghlan avoided directly answering, what "other Presidential Memorandum–related outputs" the Census Bureau plans to provide to the commerce secretary by Jan. 11, 2021. Coghlan said it's a "dynamic" process.
