DOJ sues Colorado to overturn in‑state tuition for students living in the country illegally

The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Colorado to overturn a long-standing law that offers in-state tuition rates to students who live in the U.S. illegally. This marks a significant legal battle over one of the state's most bipartisan immigration policies, which was finally enacted in 2013 after a decade of effort. The lawsuit raises important questions about federal versus state authority on immigration and could have broader implications for other states considering similar policies. The outcome may influence future immigration debates and the rights of undocumented students in higher education.
