Trump administration moves to exclude undocumented immigrants from census count
Sep 9, 2026
The Trump administration proposed a rule to exclude undocumented immigrants from the US census, potentially affecting federal resource allocation and congressional district maps. The Census Bureau also said it may use data from agencies like Treasury, Homeland Security, and Defense to determine respondents' immigration status. The move revives an effort from Trump's first term that was blocked by the Supreme Court, and Democrats have vowed to challenge it legally.
