Maloney wrote that the Commerce Department — which oversees the Census Bureau — missed a Nov. 24 deadline to give the documents to the committee. Maloney threatened a subpoena if “a full and unredacted set” of the requested documents are not given to the committee by Dec. 9. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Census Bureau switched its deadline for wrapping up the once-a-decade head count of every U.S. resident from the end of July to the end of October. The Census Bureau already was facing a shortened schedule of two and a half months for processing the data collected during the 2020 census — about half the time originally planned. The bureau has not officially said what the anomalies were or publicly stated if there would be a new deadline for the apportionment numbers.

NEW YORK – Chinese-owned TikTok asked a judge to block the Trump Administration's attempt to ban its app, suggesting the video-sharing app's forced deal with Oracle and Walmart remains unsettled. An app-store ban of TikTok, delayed once by the government, is set to go into effect Sunday. President Donald Trump set this process in motion with executive orders in August that declared TikTok and another Chinese app threats to U.S. national security. But he also said he could retract his approval if Oracle doesn't “have total control.”The two sides in the TikTok deal appear at odds over the corporate structure of TikTok Global. ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese parent, said Monday that it will still own 80% of the U.S. entity after a financing round.

NEW YORK Video app TikTok said it will wage a legal fight against the Trump Administration's efforts to ban the popular, Chinese-owned service over national-security concerns. TikTok, which is owned by China's ByteDance, insisted Monday that it is not a national-security threat and that the government is acting without evidence or due process. President Donald Trump has issued two executive orders in August, first a sweeping but unspecified ban on anytransaction with ByteDance, to take effect within 45 days. Both Republican and Democratic lawmakers have shared concerns about TikTok that ranged from its vulnerability to censorship and misinformation campaigns to the safety of user data and childrens privacy. But the administration has provided no specific evidence that TikTok has made U.S. users data available to the Chinese government.

It was a historic and powerful day on Capitol Hill as the U.S. Supreme Court rejected President Trumps efforts to end protections for young immigrants under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program Thursday. The program covers people who have been in the United States since they were children and are in the country illegally. According to the AP, young immigrants will retain their protection from deportation and their authorization to work in the United States. The American Dream means that if you play by the rules and work hard, you can make it in America, and Im thrilled to see the Supreme Court agree, Demings said in a statement. On Monday, the Supreme Court also ruled that its illegal to fire people because theyre gay or transgender.
