💨 Abstract

The Justice Department is challenging a Texas law that permits undocumented students to pay in-state tuition at public colleges, arguing that it violates federal immigration law. The lawsuit, filed in federal court, claims that the law offers an "unlawful benefit" to these students. The state of Texas has defended its policy, asserting that it promotes educational opportunities and maintains access to higher education for all residents. The outcome could set a national precedent.
