加州总检察长 Rob Bonta 联合多州反对2030年人口普查拟议新规：称将漏计约1610万人
加州总检察长 Rob Bonta 11月2日宣布，他与24名州总检察长及两名州长共同提交意见信，强烈反对特朗普政府对2030年人口普查提出的拟议规则变更。
意见信指出，美国人口普查局的拟议规则将把数以百万计的非公民排除在普查之外，并禁止询问种族、族裔与性取向等问题。按现有数据估算，该提案将在全国排除约1,610万人，其中加州居民约300万人，占加州总人口的7.5%以上。
Bonta 表示，美国宪法要求人口普查统计居住在美国的每一个人，特朗普政府无权挑拣计入对象；排除数百万人不仅明显违法，还会危及各社区的政治代表权，并扭曲关键联邦资金的分配。
意见信还提出三点反对理由：排除移民违反第十四修正案与《人口普查法》关于按各州总人口分配国会席位的要求；禁止人口统计问题将剥夺各州制定公共政策、评估政府项目与执行反歧视法律所依赖的数据；拟议规则放弃自1790年以来沿用的「通常居住地」标准，改以1月3日至4月1日期间合法停留天数最多之地为准、并以税务记录为佐证，可能把人计入度假屋或工作场所，扭曲各州人口数。
这封意见信由 Bonta 与明尼苏达州、新泽西州、纽约州总检察长共同领衔，另有亚利桑那、科罗拉多、康涅狄格等州的总检察长与哥伦比亚特区总检察长，以及肯塔基州与宾夕法尼亚州州长加入。

Attorney General Bonta Co-Leads Multistate Fight Against Proposed 2030 Census Changes
California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced on November 2 that he co-led a coalition of 24 attorneys general and two governors in submitting a comment letter strongly opposing the Trump Administration's proposed changes to the 2030 Census.
The letter says a proposed rule by the U.S. Census Bureau would exclude millions of noncitizens from the census and prohibit questions about race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Based on available data, the proposal would exclude roughly 16.1 million people nationwide, including around 3 million California residents, more than 7.5% of the state's population.
Bonta said the U.S. Constitution requires the Census to count every person living in the United States, and that excluding millions of people is not only unlawful but threatens communities' political representation and distorts access to critical federal funding.
The coalition argues the rule would unlawfully exclude immigrants in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Census Act, would deprive states of demographic data they rely on for public policy and antidiscrimination enforcement, and would abandon the usual-residence standard used since 1790 in favor of a new test based on where people lawfully spend the most days between January 3 and April 1, backed by tax records.
The letter was co-led by Bonta and the attorneys general of Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York, joined by the attorneys general of Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia, as well as the governors of Kentucky and Pennsylvania.
