The US Census Bureau has proposed changing how the 2030 census is conducted: only citizens and green card holders would be counted for congressional apportionment, the figure that determines how many House seats each state receives. The proposal would also drop race and ethnicity questions. Critics view it as a move that would shift political power away from states with large immigrant populations, and the plan is drawing attention amid broader immigration debates.

Why now: The proposal would reshape House apportionment and drop race and ethnicity data, touching directly on current immigration and representation fights.
