Puerto Rican advocacy groups warned on Friday that a proposed census rule would hurt people who live on the island and Puerto Ricans who live in the continental United States.^[1] The groups framed the harm as reaching both communities at once: residents here, and the families who have moved to the mainland. That is the full extent of what they said in the statement on the record. The statement does not spell out which part of the proposed rule the groups object to, what count it changes, or when it would take effect. For a reader on the island, the open question is how a census rule would land on a Puerto Rican household, and the groups have not yet laid that out in the numbered record.
