The Census Bureau director has testified that he was not involved in drafting President Trump's directive calling for the exclusion of undocumented immigrants from the count used to develop congressional districts
The Census Bureau director testified Wednesday that he was not involved in drafting President Donald Trump's directive calling for the exclusion of undocumented immigrants from the count used to develop congressional districts.
Director Steven Dillingham told the House Oversight Committee he had no heads-up from the White House about the presidential memorandum on the apportionment tally. He said he learned of the order from a newspaper article and first saw the actual order"when it was posted on the web." Dillingham also declined to say whether the bureau needed additional time to complete the 2020 census due to the coronavirus pandemic.
