Undocumented immigrants nationwide, including those living in Door and Kewaunee counties, can be counted in the 2020 census. That decision came from a federal court, and stops efforts by the Trump Administration to keep illegal immigrants from being counted for reapportionment purposes. The three-judge panel ruled an administration memo calling for the exclusion of undocumented residents is illegal. Imelda Delchambre with the Hispanic Resource Center of Door and Kewaunee Counties supports the court's ruling.
Delchambre says some families have held off from taking part in the census for fear of tipping off immigration officials.
