In their dissent, they say that the government's effort to remove aliens without lawful status from the census violates decades of historical practice is true. Aliens have been included, but marked as such and not used for apportionment.
The dissent, however, then incorrectly equates the two, saying that it is unlawful to remove them from the apportionment base. The truth is that they were always removed from the base until Obama changed the rules. i.e. the Democrats cheated.
