WASHINGTON - The U.S. Census Bureau has apparently abandoned its effort to compile tallies of undocumented immigrants, effectively ending President Donald Trump s quest to exclude them from congressional apportionment, according to a letter posted on its website Wednesday afternoon.
The statement came a day after the Commerce Department s Office of Inspector General (OIG) sent a letter outlining reports from whistleblowers who said Trump appointees in the bureau have been making a last-ditch push to produce tallies of undocumented immigrants so the president could try to exclude them from congressional representation before he leaves office next week.
