A group of GOP-run states are suing the US Department of Commerce and asking a federal court to force the next Census to exclude migrants who are in the country unlawfully.
They’re asking a federal court to issue an order that the 2030 census exclude migrants, and once the case is settled, it seems pretty difficult for a future administration to ask the courts for a do-over. And the case is now GOP vs GOP, so the direction the court will rule seems pretty predetermined.
Also, that’s assuming that Trump doesn’t manage to tip the scales into one-party rule for the next generation, which is definitely a possibility.
Next census is 2030, Trump won’t have any say over it.
