New York (CNN) Confusion over the 2020 census -- and the Trump administration's efforts to add a question related to citizenship -- continues.

No fewer than 24 hours after President Donald Trump's Department of Commerce backed off its push to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census, the President appeared to yank it back on Twitter.

"The News Reports about the Department of Commerce dropping its quest to put the Citizenship Question on the Census is incorrect or, to state it differently, FAKE! We are absolutely moving forward, as we must, because of the importance of the answer to this question," the President tweeted late Wednesday morning.

Which is ... the opposite of what Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said on Tuesday:

"I respect the Supreme Court but strongly disagree with its ruling regarding my decision to reinstate a citizenship question on the 2020 Census," Ross said in a statement. "The Census Bureau has started the process of printing the decennial questionnaires without the question. My focus, and that of the Bureau and the entire Department is to conduct a complete and accurate census."
