DOJ sues Illinois over in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants, citing federal law and constitutional issues.

The U.S. Department of Justice has sued Illinois over laws offering in-state tuition and financial aid to undocumented immigrants, arguing it violates federal law and the Constitution by not offering the same benefits to all U.S. citizens. The lawsuit targets Governor JB Pritzker, the state Attorney General, and university board trustees. This legal action follows Kentucky ending a similar policy after a DOJ lawsuit.
