Republican efforts to exclude people in the US illegally from numbers used to divvy up congressional seats among states have begun anew, with four Republican state attorneys general suing to alter the once-a-decade head count even before President Donald Trump's second term in office began Monday.
Trump joined in the battle immediately upon returning to office, signing an executive order on Monday that rescinded a Biden administration order and signalled the possibility of a push by his new administration to change the 2030 census.
Chuck Edwards from North Carolina earlier this month re-introduced legislation that would put a citizenship question on the census form.
