H.R. 10377 would drop every noncitizen from the count used to hand out House seats, force a new apportionment before the 2028 election, and put a citizenship question on every future census. The Fourteenth Amendment — which Clyde's filing cites as its authority — says to count 'the whole number of persons in each State.'

Tommy Tuberville is running for governor of Alabama, and he went on national TV to demand that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a U.S. citizen for over 26 years, be deported.
In a few days: DHS's own watchdog reported men sleeping on floors and cots in an overcrowded ICE jail, school bus cameras appeared to show an arrest DHS denied, ICE began quietly firing recruits it rushed onto the street, and a federal judge ruled ICE likely broke the First Amendment.
On Newsmax, the Alabama senator running for governor said Omar 'wants the president to be dead' and should be sent home. Newsmax's own story noted that Tuberville pointed to no statement in which Omar said any such thing. Omar fled Somalia's civil war as a child and became a citizen in 2000; a citizen can't be deported unless a court first strips her citizenship.
A whistleblower says Homeland Security pulled hundreds of immigration officers off national security work to hunt 'unlawful voters' in all 50 states, told them to type other people's personal details into state voter lookup sites, gave them 12 minutes per person, and had them open law enforcement records on data its own trainers said came from 'supplemental magic.'
The Homeland Security inspector general found Florida's Everglades detention camp held 79 detainees in small metal enclosures with about 18 square feet of floor space. Byron Donalds called the camp a 'blueprint for other states' — and now calls investigating it 'busy work.'
Treasury and the IRS want to treat Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit refunds as a 'federal public benefit' under the 1996 welfare law, cutting off working families with DACA, TPS and other lawful statuses. A leading budget think tank counts roughly 1 million people hurt, including hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizen kids.
A new Homeland Security rule lets officers treat a family's enrollment in Medicaid, CHIP or SNAP as grounds to deny lawful permanent residency. The department's own analysis says federal and state spending could fall by $13.05 billion a year — from households that include U.S. citizens.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin says ICE officers may enter polling sites during the midterms. Latino civil rights groups, Common Cause and the city of Denver sued on September 10, pointing to a Civil War era law that bars armed federal agents from polling places unless they are repelling armed enemies of the United States.
