US Justice Department Challenges State In-State Tuition Laws for Undocumented Students

The U.S. Justice Department has filed lawsuits against the District of Columbia, Arkansas, Hawai'i, and Utah. These lawsuits challenge state laws that allow certain undocumented students to pay in-state tuition and receive state financial aid, arguing the laws illegally provide benefits not offered to all U.S. citizens. This action concludes the Trump administration's targeting of such state policies.
