President Donald Trump said Thursday that he has instructed the Commerce Department to start a new U.S. census that will be "based on modern day facts and figures" and won't include undocumented immigrants. "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," the president wrote in a post on TruthSocial. "People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS,"
Trump again seeks to omit undocumented immigrants from the census, contrary to the Constitution
