March 26, 2018 – The Census Bureau announced it would include a question regarding citizenship status on the 2020 U.S. Census.
The State of California alleged this would include citizens and non-citizens alike.

The question hasn’t been on the census since 1950. Critics of the move explained the question would discourage undocumented immigrants from responding to the census, and thereby skew the population data significantly.
The information gathered in the census has a bearing on everything from government policy to funding to boundaries for voting districts.
Almost immediately, the State of California sued the Trump administration over the constitutionality of the question.
The Constitution states a census, or “actual enumeration,” must take place every 10 years, and the enumeration must include “the number of free persons.”
