The DOJ filed suit against three states that provide in-state college tuition to migrants regardless of immigration status. Trump is seeking to overturn the policies through federal action.
The Justice Department filed suit against New York, Connecticut, and Vermont, challenging state laws that offer in-state college tuition to migrants regardless of immigration status. Trump is arguing the states are violating federal law by giving benefits to people without legal status. The suit seeks to overturn the policies.
The legal ground here is unclear — states traditionally control tuition policy and educational benefits, and there's no obvious federal statute that bars states from setting their own rates. Trump is pushing a broad theory of federal authority over immigration matters that would let him control how states treat migrants in education, housing, and other areas normally left to states. If he wins, it would centralize immigration enforcement in ways it's never been before.
