SUMMARY

President Trump announced plans for a new census through the Commerce Department. This move aims to reshape congressional maps in favor of Republicans before the 2026 midterms. He emphasized a "new and highly accurate" census based on "modern day facts" and outcomes from the 2024 Presidential Election. Trump stated, "[p]eople who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS."

The U.S. Census, required every decade, is set for 2030. Past efforts to exclude unauthorized immigrants from census results faced legal challenges.
