Justice Department sues Texas over in-state tuition for students without legal residency
TEXAS, JUN 4 – The U.S. Department of Justice challenged Texas's 24-year-old law, citing federal immigration conflicts, affecting about 57,000 undocumented students who benefited from lower tuition rates.
- On Wednesday, the Justice Department initiated legal action against Texas over its policy that grants in-state tuition rates to undocumented immigrants living in the state.
- The lawsuit alleges the Texas law, effective for two decades, discriminates against out-of-state students and violates the Constitution by offering preferential tuition rates.

- On Wednesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi said that federal regulations prohibit educational institutions from offering advantages to undocumented individuals that are not also extended to American citizens.
