The Aporia · Trump moves to strip noncitizens from 2030 census in explosive plan that could redraw America's political map

The Trump administration is proposing a rule that would exclude noncitizens without green cards from being counted in the 2030 census, potentially altering congressional maps and federal funding distribution. This move includes excluding individuals with student visas, Temporary Protected Status, asylum seekers, and refugees. Critics argue this contradicts the Constitution and may face legal challenges. The proposal also aims to stop collecting demographic data on race and ethnicity, which helps in addressing systemic disparities. Public comment is open until November 2, one day before Election Day.
