Impact 7/10
Executive Order 14148 (January 20, 2025) revoked EO 13986, the Biden order affirming that congressional apportionment counts include all U.S. residents regardless of citizenship status. In August 2025 Trump announced he would seek a new mid-decade census excluding undocumented immigrants, although the 14th Amendment requires apportionment based on the whole number of persons in each state and similar first-term efforts were blocked in court. No new apportionment count had been implemented as of August 2026.
