On Monday, the Supreme Court heard a case on the Trump administration's effort to exclude undocumented immigrants from the decennial census count used to apportion congressional seats. Federal law requires the president to deliver to Congress \"a statement showing the whole number of persons in each State\" based on the once-a-decade census. However, President Donald Trump is pushing for an unprecedented new approach to census tabulation. \"For the purpose of the reapportionment of representatives following the 2020 census ... the United States [should] exclude from the apportionment base aliens who are not in a lawful immigration status\" even if they usually reside within the borders of the United States and had already been counted.

By CHRISTOPHER RUGABER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — America's employers sharply scaled back their hiring last month as the viral pandemic accelerated across the country, adding 245,000 jobs, the fewest since April and the fifth straight monthly slowdown.

November's job gain was down from 610,000 in October. Friday's report of another hiring slowdown provided the latest evidence that the job market and the economy are […]

By SAMYA KULLAB Associated Press MOSUL, Iraq (AP) — In a quest to root out Islamic State group hideouts over the summer, Iraqi forces on the ground cleared nearly 90 villages across a notoriously unruly northern province. But the much-touted operation still relied heavily on U.S. intelligence, coalition flights and planning assistance. While the planned U.S. troop drawdown in Iraq from 3,000 to 2,500 by mid-January is unlikely to have an immediate impact on the campaign against IS remnants, there are concerns that further withdrawals could set the stage for another resurgence of the extremist group. Although Iraqi forces have […]
