Trump wants to change Census Bureau data collection
President Trump wants to change how the Census Bureau collects data. The president has instructed the Commerce Department to exclude immigrants in the U-S illegally. Writing on social media, he said census data collections will be based on “modern day facts and figures” and results of the 2024 presidential election. Donald Trump signed a similar memo during his first term in office. That measure was later challenged legally, with courts ruling that only Congress holds authority to define who is counted.
