Who the 2030 Census should count

Census results affect House seats and federal funding. Congress can set federal census rules.

Worldwide Pause on Immigrant Visas
The State Department temporarily paused immigrant visa processing worldwide while consular officers are briefed on stricter rules for deciding whether applicants may rely on public benefits. The pause affects people applying from abroad, including many family-based applicants.
IRS and ICE data sharing
A federal appeals court ruled that the IRS unlawfully shared roughly 47,000 taxpayer addresses with ICE under a data-sharing agreement, finding the process violated federal taxpayer-privacy law. The ruling keeps the IRS policy blocked for now. Congress can change the rules governing when taxpayer information can be shared with other federal agencies.
