The Supreme Court ruled that the federal government may remove illegal aliens from the 2020 Census count, which eliminates that population from the process of allocating congressional seats and Electoral College votes that officially determine the presidency.

The 6–3 decision in Trump v. New York issued Dec. 18 is a victory for the Trump administration.
