President Trump announced Thursday that he ordered a rare, mid-decade census to exclude illegal immigrants — as a gerrymandering war between Republicans and Democrats heats up.
“I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS.”
