Supreme Court Poised to Slow Walk Trump Bid to Exclude Illegal Immigrants From Redistricting
(Worthy News) – The Supreme Court looks unlikely to issue a quick decision on the Trump administration’s bid to exclude illegal immigrants from the population baseline for awarding congressional seats.
The justices heard oral arguments for the case on Monday. At stake in the proceedings are untold millions in federal aid conditioned on population, as well as representation in the House of Representatives for states like California, Florida, and Texas, which have large numbers of illegal aliens.
Acting solicitor general Jeffrey Wall told the justices that the Census Bureau will not be able to identify most illegal immigrants in the country because of logistical challenges, meaning the president will move instead to exclude specific subsets of undocumented people, like those in ICE facilities. That concession stirred interest in a temporary delay among some of the justices, who said the Court should stay its hand until President Donald Trump decides which groups to discount.
