If Trump's plan goes forward, states with large numbers of undocumented immigrants could see their influence reduced in the US House of Representatives.

Monday, November 30, as it seeks to exclude undocumented immigrants from the population count used to determine states' representation in Congress.

The US census is carried out every 10 years as spelled out in the Constitution, and it determines certain federal aid and the number of seats each state holds in the House of Representatives, the lower house of Congress. Until now, the census has included all residents of a state apart from foreigners on a temporary visa.

Monday's arguments before the court will be by telephone due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and a decision is expected soon.
