The Trump administration wants to exclude millions of immigrants from the 2030 census. The proposal would do more than just violate the law — it would harm the American public. bit.ly/4y6x1yl

Excluding Immigrants from the Census Would Hurt the Country and Break the Law
The Constitution, federal law, and centuries of history make clear that the census is meant to count everyone, regardless of citizenship.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️
