In internal communication filed as part of discovery for a California case over the citizenship census question, Trump administration officials suggested the possibility of “renewed debate” over protections that keep census answers confidential and sharing them with law enforcement and national security agencies. This is a developing story. It will be updated.

Don't forget Trump, whatever strife you create on others will be done to YOU & YOURS, legally. Interference in a CORE American Act will create a shitstorm that even all your cronies, colluders, drones & judges can't protect you from. Fyureed

Why is it this administration keeps going backwards? Is that the only gear they know--reverse (R). Hmm. I guess I answered my own question, but going backwards, won't change what is--Democrats (D) Driving forward!

Wonderful idea. Do it yesterday

Why should non-citizens be counted towards the proportionate representation of the districts in which they live? Because not doing so would lesson the proportionate representation of the citizens who live in those districts.

I know they don’t care abt legality, but that is definitely illegal.

Well that’ll get them an accurate census.

My fav quote “give a man a fish 🐠 he will eat for that day; teach a man he will fish for the rest of his life” is that the reason why they don’t teach any longer especially to the black minority dark(est) spectrum of the stick? Alot of thing I know was self taught by reading 📖

Other went through the same things I went through trying to live the Americans dream they always promoting? Is it for just pure Caucasian or just human being like yourself that has a heart ❤️ that strive to do a different? 🧠✍🏾📝📚📆 what happened to the Step up Act?

Why is the USA 🇺🇸 one of the largest country of private prison, county prison and jail? Why is it they rather spend hundred of thousands to jail a person as opposed to educate them? I often wonder that, I myself was a statistic of getting arrested based on a false case. How many

What is the reason behind sharing the census to the law enforcement ( battered, kill before they ask any questions) and court documents ( counting how many head they can enslave in jail or prison)? Could be another form of increasing their loses of private prisons? ✍🏾🤔🧠😇

I seriously think this is a way to get liberals to not answer the census, enabling them to gerrymander even more.

It’s about time

HELLO!!! This was proposed back in 2010 when your beloved Obama was in office. Not one of you bitched about it then. You will believe anything you read or hear regarding this president but give a complete pass for lies and lack it integrity from one of your own, Kamala Harris

Speaking of sharing, has Trump shared his taxes yet?

This is a DIRECT ATTACK on minority communities.... End😒

The current law prohibits GOP FROM DOING THIS & bet house Dem majority will not agree if they propose to change the law.

That's pure fascism in its most pure and unadulterated form, period

Another issue that will eventually be pushed to scotus by the trump vladministration.

RepRichHudson SenatorBurr SenThomTillis Your constituents suggest you’d better not be voting yes for this! SilenceISComplicity

Nazi practises

What are you talking about? They haven’t even released the 1950 census yet.

Why even bother filling it out? Truly. You know we can just not do it right?

Can anyone fathom the consequences if not one person responded to the censuses?

Does ANYONE in LAW ENFORCEMENT know about the FELON x 100 in the Whitehouse This country’s a clown show....

I really can take much more of this administration’s utter f*ckery.

What next, WPost? Aliens I the White House? Little green men taking over Congress? STOP ABUSING YOUR MEDIA PRIVILEDGE! 2/2

For God's sake, he's all hot air. Quit reporting every stupid thing he says! Just cause he SAYS something does not mean it can or will happen. As media, you have a responsibility, QUIT ABUSING IT WITH THIS 'REPORTING.' This is no better than the old National Inquirer! 1/2

It's for terrorists.. duh

Well how about we dont take the census

That’s great maybe we can round up all the illegals

But that’s illegal no?

Oh give me a break!

Good idea MAGA

Shouldn’t that be illegal?

Read a different paper, please. Something other than this or vox would be helpful. Talk of this first came around last census in 2010. Who was President then? Why didn’t we here about this then? Why is this a big deal now and not then? Where were you then? lyingkamala

Kamala doesn’t want people to know that congressional districts are being based on the population of non citizens.

No, just no. That happened (unlawfully) during the internment of Japanese Americans and Japanese residents in WWII. Please, dear God, let us learn from our past.

Good

JackiN503 This whole effort, whether it's stopped in the courts or not, will have exactly the effect they intend -- to scare marginalized communities away from participating in the census, and therefore being under-counted and under-represented. Reprehensible, despicable, anti-democratic.

Census info is private for 70 years! General data can be used but not personally identifiable data.

SofyaAngelz This census will probably have the lowest return rate ever.

So basically don't.

Plans for data manipulation for corrupt intentions. The census has not proven to be a reliable source to improve economics, communities, education, jobs, etc.

Fundamentally misunderstanding of the census’ reason for existing.

I’m a law abiding US citizen born in the most horrible state ever Oklahoma (thank god I don’t live there anymore) and I have absolutely NO intention of answering the census so tounge out Trump officials. realDonaldTrump

Deplorable!

Not only will sharing census info w LEOs cause communities of color to be underep’d in the House, I fear Trump admin plans to use info to deport/lock up more undocumented people. Just like 1940 census was used to send Japanese Americans to internment camps

This is authoritarian, which you would except from Trump because he’s an authoritarian.

What's that word? It starts with an 'f'. It's on the tip of my tongue...

It's a good thing that they shared this publicly so now people can just lie on their census forms, completely invalidating what it's supposed to be.

NO NO NO!

You can ask for technical help, take recent updates, and debug your application with the help of the vast community.

I've never filled out a census.

This is why they are pushing for citizenship questions. The cruelty is the point...

actual citizenship in California and voting is the query here 😂😂😂

Even floating this idea could frighten people away from the census, skewing results. The administration’s flagrant lying and cheating to suppress votes is an affront to democracy. If GOP ideas are so great, why can’t they win on merits?

So - I need to know one thing- would it be lawful to answer the census question with ‘none of your fucking business?’

This is why it is absolutely imperative that the Census does not include a question about citizenship. This will result in an undercount of minority populations.

Is that good or bad?
