President Donald Trump is expected to announce Thursday that he is backing down from his effort to include a citizenship question in the 2020 census and will instead direct the Commerce Department to acquire the data by other means, an administration source told NBC News.

ABC News reporting the same....
President Donald Trump is expected to announce later Thursday he is backing down from his effort to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census, and will instead take executive action that instructs the Commerce Department to obtain an estimate of U.S. citizenship through other means, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

It would be good to know the actual numbers even if they come from an alternative source, but what are the implications with regards to congressional representation and such?
