The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit to block Texas' in-state tuition law for undocumented students, arguing it violates federal law. This law, enacted in 2001, allows eligible undocumented students to pay reduced tuition rates, benefiting approximately 57,000 individuals. The lawsuit follows a recent legislative session where a repeal bill was not voted on. Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that federal law prohibits benefits for undocumented individuals not available to U.S. citizens. The lawsuit was filed in the Northern District of Texas, reflecting the Trump administration's ongoing efforts to enforce stricter immigration policies.
