Trump admin pushes to alter census, reshape voting maps
Summary
This episode of Trump's Terms Plus examines the Trump administration's proposal to exclude non-citizens without green cards from the 2030 census for congressional apportionment. The segment, sourced from NPR, features legal experts from the ACLU and the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights who argue the move violates the 14th Amendment and risks discouraging accurate data collection. The discussion also highlights the administration's plan to drop race and ethnicity questions, a change critics say undermines civil rights enforcement and community planning.
