>> reporter: the prince george's county sheriff's department says that they just received a warrant and right now they are actively trying to serve that warrant on dominique taylor. doreen. >> all right. meagan fitzgerald k porting. thanu. now to the single census question, the far reaching ripple effects for a decade to come. the question asks are you an american citizen. it's critics sayt's meant to intimidate immigrants and reduce the number of democratic seats congress. president trump argues the question will yield valioble informat bloi blayne alexander is live outside the supreme court. >> reporter: it's been there before but it hasn't been on the main form sce 1950. now the trump administration is workin to bring it back. it's a supreme court showdown over a single question. can the trump administration ask a pers's citizenship.

18 states are fighting to remove that question saying it would scare immigrant communities, especially undocumented immigrants from participating in the census all together. in fact, theesovernment mates as many as 6.5 million people would not fill out the form. meaning the population county thatecides federal dollars for things like roads and schools could be skewed. >> it will soam severely de the accuracy of the census. t that six states are atisk of losing a seat in the house of representatives. >> reporter: they argue the information is needed to help enforce the voting rights act. >> we want tonow who is in the country. i think as a sovereign nation, we have that right. >> reporter: inside the court, the justices clearly split. justice son ma sotomayor, the only hispanic member calling it a solution in search of a problem. brett kavanaugh noting the united nations recommends the citizenship question, one common in other countries. how many people have told you if

this question is on the census they won't fill it out. >> dozens of people have been organization. my >> the accurate data you'll get from everybody else who does answer is worth the fact that there might be a very small, small number of people wo refuse to respond. >> if this does deter people, i can only see my community falling apart. >> reporter: the court seemed poised to let the question remain on the scensus. nbc news washington rchlts pe. pete williams was also in e urcot. >> we're going to put you on the spot. you were there.en what's your sse of where the court is leaning or thinking of going with this decision? >> well, i agree wit blayne. the majority of the cot, the five conservatives, will say that this was not an abuse of dis kr discretion. when they asked this to be added to the census, did he exceed his

powers? the opponents of the 18 states who say they will lose money, l they coulde seats in congress say that by adding the question, you actually get less accute information because fewer people will respond to the census form. the government, though, says that there's actually a tradeoff anytime you want to get more information by adding a question to the census. in this case the government says they wanted the information to better administer the voting rights act. so they say it's always a tradeoff and that tre is no perfect way to get an accurate counter. e days of knocking door-to-door to figure out how many people live here are long gone and the census hasong relied on other government databases, social security, s and estimates. so they say wilbur ross's decision to put this question on, even though the census people told him this would make a less accurate census, was not an abuse of discretion. >> everybody is watching the new

stice on the court, justice kavanaugh. will he be a factor in this? >> we h,e's one of the five votes. heeplaced anthony kennedy.ha on the other nd, i'm not sure anthonld kennedy woun't have voted the same way bause he was a conservative on these sorts of issues, government authory issues. it was interesting for me today hear the conservatives say the u.n. says you should include this question. the conservatives always hated when youook at international law. but the other point they made, kavanaugh and the chief justice, the question for the majority of u.s. history wasn the census, so that's a bit of a tall order eor the opponents. >> reporter: pet williams, nbc news justice correspondent. always good to have your perspective. >> he straighte this stuff out and makes it sound like common sense. >> i'll be here every day if you want. >> we'd love it. thank you,pete. as the nation gran epples w ane surge of , they tell lester holt that family
