The Census Bureau's proposed rule changes for 2030 could reshape political representation and federal funding by excluding illegal immigrants and altering demographic data collection.
The Census Bureau’s proposed rule changes for 2030 could reshape political representation and federal funding by excluding illegal immigrants and altering demographic data collection. PULSE POINTS WHAT HAPPENED: The Trump administration is seeking to redefine who is included in the population count used to determine congressional representation in the 2030 census , potentially excluding millions of illegal immigrants and reducing the number of lawmakers from Democrat-led states with large illegal populations. The new Census Bureau proposal would classify illegal immigrants as ineligible for inclusion in the state population totals used to apportion the 435 seats in the House of Representatives, and also potentially exclude certain…Open
The nation's election system is in a messy legal limbo, with fights over mail-in voting , electoral maps and voter records still locked in court. Why it matters: Americans are in the eye of the storm, with over half saying they don't think the 2026 midterms will be conducted fairly or are unsure, according to a new poll. - President Trump insists his push to reform America's elections will protect the sanctity of votes. But the administration's overhaul has left voters and states in a complicated web of litigation — with the first midterm ballots already sent out. Driving the news: Just 45% think the midterms will be conducted fairly, a sentiment shared by 37% of independents and 48% of both Democrats and Republicans, according to a…

An independent cost study pegs Mayor Zohran Mamdani's flagship universal childcare plan at roughly $9 billion a year, about 50 percent above the $6 billion figure he sold voters on the campaign trail. The Center for New York City Affairs, a nonpartisan research group affiliated with the New School, released a report estimating that New York City would need between $8.7 billion and $9.3 billion annually to deliver the free childcare program Mamdani made the centerpiece of his mayoral bid. That is approximately $3 billion more per year than Mamdani's own number, and it lands at a moment when City Hall has yet to produce its own official cost model for the program. The New York Post reported that City Hall declined to comment on the $9…Open
A conservative legal nonprofit has released a 35-page guide telling New York City police officers they may contact ICE to share immigration-status information, arguing federal law overrides Mayor Zohran Mamdani's sanctuary directives.

A conservative legal nonprofit has released a 35-page guide telling New York City police officers they may contact ICE to share immigration-status information, arguing federal law overrides Mayor Zohran Mamdani's sanctuary directives. America First Legal obtained what it calls the legal high ground in the escalating standoff between the Trump administration and New York City over immigration enforcement. The group's "Law Enforcement Officer Immigration Cooperation Guide" cites Section 1373 of federal immigration law, a provision that bars state and local governments from restricting officials who want to share immigration-status information with federal authorities, and tells officers they can pick up the phone and call ICE's 24-hour Law…Open
Some Bellevue Hospital officials feared having to disclose patients’ immigration status. They will get care elsewhere at the hospital, administrators say.
House Bill 793 was amended from its Senate version, which would have allowed school districts to charge tuition to students not legally in the country. It now only requires that schools check students' immigration status.
The Trump administration is halting $259 million in Medicaid funding to Minnesota until the state takes steps to root out fraud in the program, Vice President JD Vance and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator Mehmet Oz announced Wednesday. Why it matters: CMS served notice that it plans similar freezes to other states' funding as part of the administration's crackdown on fraud. - It also keeps a focus on Minnesota's safety net funding after the administration used the state's inability to rein in fraud as justification for launching the ICE enforcement surge that targeted the state's Somali community. State of play: Wednesday's announcement came after Health and Human Services last month notified Minnesota that it…
