Trump Orders New Census Excluding Noncitizens
President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he has directed the Department of Commerce to begin work on a new census that excludes noncitizens, likely setting up more legal challenges against his administration.
“I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024,” Trump stated on Truth Social. “People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” the president added.
If implemented, Trump’s more accurate census would likely reshape congressional representation across the United States, with Democrats potentially losing dozens of seats.
