Missouri sues Census Bureau, demanding non-citizens be excluded from 2020 count, claiming it violated the Constitution and cost the state a congressional seat.
Missouri has sued the U.S. Census Bureau, alleging that counting non-citizens, including undocumented immigrants and visa holders, in the 2020 census violated the Constitution by diluting the voting power of U.S. citizens and unfairly shifting congressional seats and federal funds.
Attorney General Catherine Hanaway claims the practice caused Missouri to lose a seat and demands a recount excluding non-citizens, seeking to change the methodology for the 2030 census.
The lawsuit, filed January 30, 2026, argues the current approach undermines equal representation and is unconstitutional, though courts have previously upheld the Census Bureau’s long-standing practice of counting all residents regardless of immigration status.
