New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) on Monday unveiled a new census council co-chaired by Martin Luther King III, the oldest son of the civil rights leader, as part of an effort to ensure a fair count the state's population.
Cuomo also said he is proposing an additional $10 million in this year’s budget to go toward the fair census count plan, bringing the state’s total for the 2020 Census to $70 million.
The push, announced on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, comes after what Cuomo called the Trump administration’s attempt to keep immigrant communities from completing this year’s census.
“As this federal administration continues to disenfranchise immigrant communities and use every means possible to stop them from filling out this year's Census questionnaire, we are taking aggressive actions to ensure every single New Yorker is counted,” Cuomo said in a statement on Monday.
President Trump issued an executive order asking the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to share citizenship information with the Census Bureau after the Supreme Court rejected the administration's effort to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census.
DHS recently said it would begin doing so.

In good old Newspeak, fair is unfair.
If they’re of citizens they are not NYers.
“Supreme court rejected the effort ...”
Let me guess, Robert’s sided with the four rat commie justices? Another legacy of GW Bush. /huge spit.
No illegal immigrant should be counted in the census!
You betcha. NYS will lose 1 to 2 House seats if they don’t inflate the count.
You know, it would be a crying shame if conservatives in NYS refused to participate in the census. A real pity.
