US Administration Proposes Ending Census Collection of Racial and Ethnic Data

The Trump administration has proposed eliminating the collection of racial and ethnic data in the decennial census, a move that would undermine the enforcement of anti-discrimination laws and alter the basis for federal funding and political representation. The proposal, as reported by Le Monde, is an explicit policy shift that could have far-reaching implications for civil rights and resource allocation, though its legislative and legal feasibility remains uncertain.
