The House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government will hold a hearing on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. ET. The hearing, "Enumeration or Estimation: Why Inaccurate Census Results Hurt American Citizens," will examine how the census's counting of illegal immigrants is unconstitutional, leads to inaccurate results and the disenfranchisement of American voters in certain states, and benefits states that intentionally disregard federal immigration law via "sanctuary" policies. The hearing will also examine how the Census Bureau's counting errors in in the 2020 census benefitted mostly blue states. Finally, the hearing will examine how the Census Bureau's use of differential privacy, a likely unconstitutional practice that aims to protect the privacy of individuals when releasing large data sets by injecting random "noise" into the results of a data query, may have led to inaccurate population estimates in the 2020 census.
