President Donald Trump on Thursday said he has ordered the Commerce Department to re-run the count of the U.S. population that took place five years ago while excluding the counting of any person in the country without legal status. Writing on Truth Social, Trump said he’d asked the department, which oversees the U.S. Census Bureau, to “immediately” start what he called “a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures” making use of “the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024.” He also said the new count would exclude anyone in the country illegally. Trump’s demand for a new census excluding migrants come as he is desperately pushing for Republican-led states to redraw congressional districts to make it harder if not impossible for Democrats to gain a majority of seats in next year’s mid-term elections.

This reads like he wants the commerce Dept. to come up with numbers based on the last census and the last election. what the last election has to do with it I have no idea. There is not enough time to do a whole new census before next year's election.
