Trump said he has instructed the Department of Commerce to begin updating the census so it won't include those without U.S. citizenship.
President Donald Trump on Thursday ordered the Commerce Department to begin working on a new U.S. Census report, which is historically released every 10 years with the next due in 2030.
"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.
The Census numbers have become of national interest in recent weeks as Democrats try to redraw state congressional maps, based on census data, to try to gain more House seats in the 2026 midterm elections.
And in the past few weeks, GOP lawmakers have put forward three bills that would have the 2030 census tally individuals without U.S. citizenship, and then subtract a few or all of them from the apportionment counts, according to NPR.
Trump said Thursday: "People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
When Democrat President Joe Biden was in office, the GOP-controlled House passed a bill that would leave illegal migrants out of the census, but the effort was halted after the narrow passage.
Migrants in the U.S. are currently included in the census, but are referred to as foreign born when being counted, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
It is not clear how migrants being included in the census impacts voting, and the bureau has not responded to requests for comment at this time.

He’ll do it, too
It impacts how many congressional districts a state has, which was the primary reason for the open borders.
ALL Fed.gov statistics - from employment, to inflation, to health-care outcomes, to vaccine harm, to the census, to FBI violent crime reports - have become politically-manipulated SH** and are proven to be fraudulent.
The propagandists in DC have whored themselves for statist-woke politics for so long, they deserve zero trust.
It’s worse than the Soviets.
That only makes sense. If we travel to other counries in the middle of their headcounts, we are not included.
Illegals out....of everything! No food, no medicare/caid/just show up, no schools.
And dang sure don’t count them for apportionment of representation.
He needs to take the fag pairs out too.
So what’s the timetable?
Anyone? Bueller?
No effect until probably 2031 even if the rule changes could survive.
Fantastic!
Will proof of citizenship be required?
This is so awesome. Even if the courts block it again and again. It puts it out there for the public to see and know: that the Census is UNFAIR. That it is wrong, corrupt and subverts their votes.
Four years of deporting illegal aliens will have an effect even if the rule changes get “enjoined” by a marxist obama judge.
