It's not like ICE can knock down their doors if they say they're not a citizen.

Wait, why not? Being an illegal immigrant is illegal (obviously) and ICE is in charge of enforcing those laws. Is this just about not being allowed to literally break into immigrants homes? Couldn't ICE just wait outside then?

Legally, the individual responses to the census are supposed to be kept confidential. So, in theory, the data/answers should never get to ICE.

However, many will likely assume the same as you and hence the undercount. Also a fear that despite the law the information will get there.

And of course, like I said, in spite of the law (they suspended the confidentiality protections), during WWII the government used the data to target Japanese Americans for internment so there is historical precedence of the government using the data in such a way.
