De Blasio called that accusation "preposterous," and said the city matched its 2010 response rate despite obstacles like the coronavirus pandemic and President Trump’s unsuccessful effort to put a citizenship question on the census, which immigration advocates feared would suppress participation by the city’s undocumented [sic] population.
