3 more states share license data for citizenship efforts Iowa, South Carolina and South Dakota have now joined Nebraska in agreeing to share driver's license information with the U.S. Census Bureau to help the Trump administration determine the citizenship status of every U.S. residentSIOUX FALLS, S.D. Until recently, Nebraska had been the sole state to sign an agreement with the Census Bureau to share the information. Opponents of gathering the citizenship data worry it will be used by states and local governments to redraw legislative boundaries using only U.S. citizens instead of the entire population. House Democrats have filed legislation that would nullify Trump's order on gathering the citizenship data. Democrats say the attempt to gather the citizenship information is part of an ongoing effort by the Trump administration to politicize the Census Bureau.
