PoliticsTrump administration proposes excluding some immigrants from US census

The Trump administration has proposed counting only US citizens and lawful permanent residents in the population figures used to allocate House seats and federal funding. Temporary legal residents and undocumented immigrants would be excluded. The plan would also reduce some race and ethnicity questions and cross-check citizenship information with government records, prompting fears it could suppress participation and distort political representation.
