Judge Blocks in-State Tuition for Undocumented Students in Texas
- A federal judge issued a permanent injunction on Wednesday blocking a Texas law that allowed undocumented students to pay in-state tuition at public colleges.
- The injunction followed a lawsuit filed just hours earlier by the U.S. Department of Justice, with Texas agreeing the law discriminated against out-of-state U.S. citizens.
- The law, enacted in 2001 as part of Texas' Dream Act, had let about 57,000 undocumented students pay lower tuition if they met residency and affidavit requirements.
- Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton described the injunction as a significant win, stating that the law improperly provided advantages to undocumented immigrants that were not extended to U.S. citizens.
- The ruling ends a decades-old policy impacting roughly 1.5% of Texas students and raises concerns that many undocumented students may face higher costs or drop out.
