The US Census:

Is it illegal to refuse to partake of the US Census?

Can an individual be lawfully arrested for said refusal?

13 USC 9.

13 USC 141.

13 USC 193.

13 USC 214.

But here's the crux of the biscuit:

13 USC 221:

(a) Whoever, being over eighteen years of age, refuses or willfully neglects, when requested by the Secretary, or by any other authorized officer or employee of the Department of Commerce or bureau or agency thereof acting under the instructions of the Secretary or authorized officer, to answer, to the best of his knowledge, any of the questions on any schedule submitted to him in connection with any census or survey provided for by subchapters I, II, IV, and V of chapter 5 of this title, applying to himself or to the family to which he belongs or is related, or to the farm or farms of which he or his family is the occupant, shall be fined not more than $100. (b) Whoever, when answering questions described in subsection (a) of this section, and under the conditions or circumstances described in such subsection, willfully gives any answer that is false, shall be fined not more than $500. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, no person shall be compelled to disclose information relative to his religious beliefs or to membership in a religious body.

Looks like I'll be $100 short sometime this year or next.

I do not answer census questions. Never have. Never will. And certainly not during this administration. Figures lie and liars figure.
