Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway announced a lawsuit against the U. S. Department of Commerce and the Census Bureau. The suit aims to end the counting of illegal aliens in the census and seek a recount of the 2020 Census and the 2021 congressional apportionment.
• The lawsuit challenges how federal representation is calculated, arguing illegal aliens should not be counted for electoral purposes.
• Hanaway stated that U. S. citizens, not illegal aliens, should determine congressional seats and electoral votes.
• The lawsuit claims that counting illegal aliens compromises fair representation and shifts federal representation from states enforcing immigration laws to sanctuary states.
• It highlights that policies allowing illegal alien counting go back to a decision made before the 1980 Census.
• The complaint includes historical context related to a Trump administration memo and subsequent Biden administration actions.
• The lawsuit is expected to be reviewed by a three-judge federal panel and seeks to declare the inclusion of illegal aliens unconstitutional, order a recount, and prevent future counting of illegal aliens in the census.
Missouri is taking legal action to challenge the inclusion of illegal aliens in census figures, asserting that this practice undermines the representation rights of its citizens.
