Census Bureau says it will stop trying to provide Trump with tally of undocumented Tara Bahrampour, The Washington Post Jan. 14, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail 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.
