President Donald Trump announced an executive order that will require all federal agencies to submit existing information about U.S. citizens and non-citizens to the Department of Commerce.

The Census Bureau said it could figure out the citizenship status of 90 percent or more of the population through the move, which would be more accurate than using a citizenship question on the census, Trump said on July 11.
