Immigrants could be dropped from census
The Trump administration has proposed significant changes to how the U.S. Census will be conducted in 2030. The proposal would count only U.S. citizens and permanent residents, excluding immigrants without legal status. This overhaul could also eliminate collection of key racial and ethnic data. Officials say the changes could affect how federal resources are distributed and how voting districts are drawn.
