US EditionMissouri AG Files Lawsuit to Block Census From Counting Undocumented Immigrants
Hanaway contends including illegal immigrants in apportionment shifted Missouri’s congressional seats and electoral votes, challenging current Census Bureau practices under constitutional and procedural laws.
- In the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, Hanaway sued the Census Bureau and Commerce Department Friday, challenging census counting practices.
- The complaint references prior policy shifts, including a Trump memorandum, as Hanaway alleges counting illegal immigrants and temporary visa holders affects apportionment.
- Among other remedies, the suit asks the court to bar the Census Bureau and Commerce Department from including illegal immigrants in the 2030 Census apportionment and to require corrective action for 2020 and 2021 counts.
