Trump has initiated plans for a new, highly accurate Census that would not count undocumented immigrants, relying on data from the Presidential Election of 2024. This proposition potentially implies a revision of the last census from 2020, which could face legal hurdles since congressional seat reapportionments are bound by law to occur every ten years. While some Republicans argue the previous census favored blue states by counting undocumented residents, Democrats are poised to counteract Republican gerrymandering strategies currently being deployed in several states including Texas.
Trump has instructed the Department of Commerce to create a new, highly accurate Census using results from the 2024 Presidential Election, excluding undocumented immigrants.
A new census demand raises questions about its constitutionality, as reapportionments are typically conducted once every ten years, making immediate revisions nearly impossible.
