US EditionMissouri AG files lawsuit to block Census from counting undocumented immigrants
Missouri AG argues including undocumented immigrants in census apportionment violates the 14th Amendment and diluted the state's political representation, seeking to exclude them in 2030.
- On Friday, Hanaway sued the Commerce Department and Census Bureau to block counting undocumented immigrants and their inclusion in the 2030 Census, alleging violations of the 14th Amendment.
- Her office contends that including illegal immigrants and temporary visa holders in census apportionment violates the 14th Amendment and the Administrative Procedure Act.
- The roughly 96-page complaint asks a judge to throw out the 2020 national census, which involved hundreds of thousands of census workers and cost roughly $14 billion.
- The suit seeks corrective action for the 2020 and 2021 apportionment counts, which have already been used to redraw congressional and legislative districts nationwide.
- Legal scholars note the Fourteenth Amendment directs `the whole number of persons in each State`, historical census practice included noncitizens, and courts are skeptical a redo will be ordered.
