Justice Dept Sues Colorado Over In-State Tuition, Financial Aid for Undocumented Immigrant Students
The US Department of Justice is suing Colorado over its practice of offering in-state tuition and financial aid to undocumented immigrant students attending public colleges and universities. The lawsuit challenges this policy, which has been in place since 2013.
The US Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Colorado over its practice of offering in-state tuition and financial aid to undocumented immigrant students attending public colleges and universities. The move is part of a growing trend by federal authorities to challenge state laws allowing such benefits for non-citizens. Colorado's law, which was passed in 2013, allows eligible students to receive the same discounted rates as in-state residents. The lawsuit seeks to overturn the law, which critics argue undermines federal immigration laws and creates public safety concerns.
