What are the immediate implications of President Trump revoking the Biden executive order concerning census data?

President Trump revoked a Biden executive order that reversed the Trump administration's attempt to exclude undocumented immigrants from census data used to determine congressional apportionment and Electoral College votes. This action reinstates the prior policy of including all residents, regardless of immigration status, in these counts, a practice consistent with the 14th Amendment and historical precedent. The move follows previous failed attempts to add a citizenship question to the census and create neighborhood-level citizenship data.
