Trump has ordered the Census Bureau to begin work on a new census of the United States.

American President Donald Trump said he has ordered the Census Bureau to begin work on a new census of the United States.

“I have ordered the Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and extremely accurate census of the population based on modern facts and figures,” he wrote on the Truth Social social media platform.

Trump added that illegal migrants would not be counted in the census.

In June, he demanded that efforts be expanded to apprehend and deport illegal immigrants from the United States.
