DOJ Challenges State Laws Granting In-State Tuition to Undocumented Immigrants

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed complaints against Massachusetts and Rhode Island, arguing that their laws providing in-state tuition and financial aid to undocumented immigrants are unconstitutional. The DOJ asserts these state laws unlawfully discriminate against U.S. citizens and conflict with federal statutes. This action underscores the department's stance on state-level benefits for undocumented individuals.
