DOJ Seeks to Block Kansas In-State Tuition for Undocumented Residents

The Department of Justice has filed a complaint and a proposed consent decree against Kansas, aiming to permanently stop state laws offering in-state tuition and scholarships to undocumented residents. The DOJ contends that these Kansas laws unlawfully favor undocumented individuals over American citizens, thereby violating federal law and potentially encouraging illegal immigration. Court approval is now required for the proposed decree to take effect.
