Trump admin. asks states for citizenship info despite Supreme Court ruling.
The U.S. Census Bureau is asking states for drivers' license records that typically include citizenship data and has made a new request for information on recipients of government assistance after the U.S. Supreme Court blocked plans to include a citizenship question in its 2020 population count.
"Each state is making their own determination how to respond," association spokeswoman Claire Jeffrey said in an email."We, as a general rule, are not comfortable with giving out our data, certainly not in such a huge amount. That was the overriding concern," said spokesman Dave Drucker. The bureau is also trying to gather other state records on individual recipients of public programs. A new request published last month in the Federal Register said the records would be used for the 2020 Census and other research, and they are needed to"improve efficiency and accuracy in our data collections, and to improve measures of the population and economy."
"Here's the confusing thing about it," Thompson said."They've already been reaching out to states. They've got a number of ongoing programs where they reach out to states for various data."
