FEATURING DAN VICUÑA – After losing his appeal at the Supreme Court last year to have undocumented immigrants identify themselves in the 2020 US Census, President Donald Trump chose a new approach just months before the November election. In a recent memorandum Trump decided that states should not count immigrants when drawing district lines based on the 2020 Census, using logic that appears to be at odds with the US Constitution. Now, the group Common Cause is suing the Trump administration over the new rule.
