Story summary

The Trump administration has proposed a rule that would exclude millions of noncitizens without green cards from being counted in the 2030 census, a move that could significantly alter congressional maps and policies affecting millions of people. This includes individuals with legal status such as student visas, Temporary Protected Status, or those who are asylum seekers or refugees. The proposal also seeks to prohibit collecting demographic data on race and ethnicity, which has historically been crucial for lawmakers to address systemic disparities. Critics argue that the rule contradicts the 14th Amendment of the Constitution and is likely to face numerous legal challenges. They warn that such a policy could discourage participation in the census, which impacts critical areas like funding allocation and representation in government.
