WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, Donald Trump announced he is directing the Commerce Department to collect citizenship data from all federal agencies and departments. This is a defeat for the administration’s attempts to weaponize the 2020 Census by adding a racist and illegal citizenship question citizenship question in an effort to erase and intimidate immigrants and vulnerable communities from answering the Census and deprive them of political representation and resources.
