Adjusting Census Data Before Redistricting

A couple of states alter the census data to exclude specific populations before beginning the redistricting process.  Some would like to see states reallocate incarcerated persons and there are others who would like redistricting data to only include U.S. citizens.  What are the legal and data questions that lurk behind these proposals?
