Trump Orders New U.S. Census Excluding Undocumented Immigrants, Image: Gettyimages
On August 7, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing the Department of Commerce to conduct a new U.S. census that excludes undocumented immigrants from the population count used for congressional apportionment and Electoral College votes, aiming to base representation solely on U.S. citizens.
This revives a 2020 attempt that was blocked by legal challenges, which argued that the Constitution’s 14th Amendment requires counting all “persons” in each state, regardless of immigration status, as supported by historical precedent and court rulings.
The order, which suggests using 2024 election data, faces likely legal opposition due to its conflict with established interpretations of the Census Act and constitutional mandates, potentially reshaping representation to favor states with higher citizen populations if implemented.
