NEW: Calls for the resignation of the Census Bureau's Trump-appointed director — Steven Dillingham, whose term ends on Dec. 31 — are now coming from Democrats in Congress. including @RepJudyChu, Rep. @GerryConnolly (L) and @SenatorShaheen (R) (H/T @ZachMontellaro & @lbarronlopez)

@RepJudyChu @GerryConnolly @SenatorShaheen @ZachMontellaro @lbarronlopez 2. Some civil rights group leaders also called for the bureau director's resignation this week after @CommerceOIG revealed Dillingham tried to rush out a data report on noncitizens that a career official said would be "statistically indefensible"
