The League of Women Voters of the United States and the Leagues of Women Voters of California, Florida, and Texas filed an amicus brief in New York v. Trump, a case which challenges President Trump’s executive order to block undocumented individuals from being counted in the U.S. Census. The Leagues join in support of the plaintiffs. 

“US Census data is meant to include all people living in our country, regardless of citizenship status,” said Dr. Deborah Turner, board president of the League of Women Voters of the United States. “The Constitutional clearly lays out the requirement to count every person. Census data is the foundation for determining the needs of the total US population. Undermining this constitutional mandate weakens every community in America. Undocumented individuals are a vital part of the fabric of this nation.”
