CLC Reveals Internal Trump Administration Strategies to Exclude Immigrants from Census

After a lawsuit brought by Campaign Legal Center (CLC), the U.S. Census Bureau produced a briefing memo prepared for former U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross about the bureau’s plan for estimating the undocumented immigrant population.
