Today, Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, alongside Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Adriano Espaillat, Congressional Black Caucus Chair Yvette Clarke, Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus Chair Grace Meng, and Congressional Equality Caucus Chair Mark Takano, led House Democrats in demanding the U.S. Census Bureau immediately withdraw its proposed rule that would unconstitutionally exclude millions of people from apportionment based on their immigration status. This alarming proposal would prevent the Bureau from collecting critical data on race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation needed to evaluate federal programs, identify disparities, and uphold civil rights protections.
