Citizens-Only Census Plan Could Rewire Representation and Funds
TL;DR Summary
The Trump administration proposed a rule to count only U.S. citizens and permanent residents in the decennial census, excluding undocumented immigrants and those on temporary lawful status, and to drop race/ethnicity questions; the proposal, open to public comment for 30 days, could reshape how seats in Congress and federal funding are allocated, with experts warning it would distort data and undermine civil rights protections.
