EXCLUSIVE: We Got A Sneak Peak At Trump’s 2020 Census Data — Admin Recorded Highest Number Of Households In Past 30 Years

The 2020 Census will account for approximately 152 million American households , 20 million more than were counted in the 2010 census , and the highest total percentage of United States households recorded in the past 30 years , assistant to the president for planning and implementation Dr. John Fleming claims .
Fleming told the Daily Caller Friday that the census is generally completed between April 1-July 31 , but complications caused by the coronavirus pandemic forced the Census Bureau to keep enumerators out of the field until June .
The truncated schedule required the White House coronavirus task force @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the Census Bureau to hire a larger body of enumerators compared to past years , all of whom were tasked with working longer hours than typically expected .
Still , the Census Bureau ’ s 2020 enumerators blanketed 99.98 percent of all U.S. households , compared to 99.62 and 99.6 percent in 2010 and 2000 respectively .
The 1990 census also resolved 99.98 percent of listed addresses .
( RELATED : Trump Calls On Congress To Exclude Illegal Immigrants From New Congressional Redistricting Maps ) “ The media has been almost exclusively @ @ @ @ @ @ @ undercounting or inaccurately counting in 2020 , ” Fleming said .
“ Despite all the wrangling , all the criticism , all the claims that the Department of Commerce and the Census Bureau and certainly the White House were derelict in its duties , nothing could be further from the truth.
” The former Louisiana Republican Congressman added that in 2020 , the Census Bureau was able to resolve at least 99.9 percent of all household addresses in 49 states .
Louisiana was the sole state where the Census fell short of that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 99 percent of listed addresses , due to the two hurricanes that struck the gulf coasts during the counting weeks this summer .
Fleming additionally credited two technological advances with helping Census hit its enumeration goals without pushing back the timeline : iPhones and a new website for households to self-respond .
The online portal was a brand new tool for Census 2020 — in 2010 , households were only able given a paper mailing option to self respond — and the site itself “ always worked perfectly and never went down for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ It was a huge leap in terms of government performance , ” he stated , explaining that of the 67 percent of all households choosing to self-respond in 2020 , 80 percent used the online portal .
Similarly , every Census enumerator sent into the field in 2020 was given an iPhone , a simple change that allowed enumerators to optimize routes and rapidly report data back to Census centers at a rate of 1.92 cases per hour , nearly double the productivity of 2010 ’ s rate of 1.01 cases per @ @ @ @ @ @ @ never existed before , ” Fleming said .
“ We have technology that verifies where they were when they took that information.
” Still , two questions remain about the final 2020 Census product .
Will the data be deliverable when Congress returns to session in 2021 and will the apportionment map exclude illegal immigrants , as desired by President Donald Trump .
Fleming concedes that the first question is still up in the air .
“ Because we got in the field later because of the pandemic , we ’ ve had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ statutory deadlines , ” he told the Daily Caller .
“ We can ’ t say for certain if we will hit the deadlines or whether there may be delays because we ’ re still analyzing the process.
” The second question is much more cut and dry .
Though a special , three-judge panel blocked Trump ’ s executive order to exclude illegal immigrants counted in the census from the Congressional apportionment map , Fleming noted the United States Supreme Court ’ s decision had opted in October to hear the case @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on November 30 .

“I am an Indigenous woman. Under a system which denies my fundamental rights, I am a survivor. I remind ICE that they are on stolen, invaded, Indigenous land. I do not owe ICE anything – they are the ones who owe reparations for their injustices,” María Chavalan Sut said, according to the CCR. Sut has reportedly lived in sanctuary for two years in Charlottesville, Virginia.
One immigrant’s lawyer, David Bennion, said, “ICE’s retaliatory attempt to issue fines of hundreds of thousands of dollars against immigrant community leaders living in sanctuary churches violated their rights to freedom of speech and freedom of religion,” the Statesman reported.
The ICE email was sent to at least four people, including ICE Executive Associate Director of Enforcement Operations Henry “Enrique” Lucero, ICE Phoenix Outreach Spokesperson Yasmeen Pitts Okeefe told the Daily Caller News Foundation on Friday.

Muslim Group Says Cuomo Is ‘Targeting And Unjustly Blaming’ Jewish Communities For Coronavirus Spread

Multiple Muslim groups rebuked Democratic New York Gov .
Andrew Cuomo in an amicus curiae brief supporting Jewish parents suing Cuomo over restrictions targeting religious schools in Orthodox Jewish communities .
The Muslim Public Affairs Council , Religious Freedom Institute ’ s Islam and Religious Freedom Action Team , and Asma Uddin wrote a brief that supported a complaint that was filed Oct. 16 , and that alleges Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio discriminated against Jews by prohibiting in-person instruction at Jewish schools throughout the city .
The brief described historical accounts of “ scapegoating ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , war , and fear.
” The Muslim groups cite the discrimination of numerous religions throughout history , including Muslims after 9/11 and Jews during the Black Death , as examples , and added that Cuomo ’ s actions resemble past instances of scapegoating .
( RELATED : Hundreds In NYC Orthodox New York Community Protest New Coronavirus Mandates ) “ Latest in a long and troubling line of such incidents are the statements and policies of Governor Cuomo blaming Orthodox Jewish communities for the spread of COVID-19 and specifically targeting them for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dearth of evidence , ” the brief says .
In early October , Cuomo was allowed by a federal judge to enact new restrictions on gatherings at synagogues and at other houses of worship , after arguments that Cuomo was targeting religious minorities with the order .
He said that it was “ the last thing I want to do ” and that the move was “ right on the line of government intrusion on religion , ” according to the New York Times .
Multiple Jewish congregations are suing the governor and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anti-Semitic discrimination.
” The suits came more than a week after Cuomo gave de Blasio the green light to lockdown 20 coronavirus hotspots throughout the city , which includes nine largely Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods .
The measures limit the size of religious gatherings in coronavirus hot spots to 10 people , according to CBS New York .
But many in the Jewish community believed it was clear that Cuomo was targeting Jews when he used a photo from 2006 during a news conference , while claiming that religious institutions were causing problems by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ News .
Cuomo has said he has “ respect and love ” for the Orthodox Jewish community , and that “ the majority of Ultra Orthodox groups I ’ ve spoken with have been cooperative , ” according to CBS New York .
“ There ’ s a relatively small number that ’ s uncooperative , and just believe they should be exempt from these government operations.
” De Blasio has also targeted the Jewish community in tweets .
“ My message to the Jewish community , and all communities is this simple @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” a tweet from April said .
But the Muslim groups supporting the plaintiffs in the case find the casting of Orthodox Jews as religious bigotry .
“ The Governor ’ s orders impose restrictions on schools in predominantly Jewish communities harsher than those on schools outside those communities , despite his frank acknowledgment that schools pose little risk of COVID spread , ” the brief says .
“ As an initial matter , New York government officials have shuttered schools in predominantly Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods , identified as COVID hot spots @ @ @ @ @ @ @ similar restrictions on COVID hot spots that lack such Jewish populations .
