    DOJ sues Colorado over in-state tuition for undocumented students

    The U.S. Department of Justice is suing Colorado over state laws providing in-state tuition and financial aid benefits to undocumented students, arguing they violate federal law. The lawsuit targets the 2013 ASSET Act, which allows undocumented students meeting residency criteria to qualify for state educational benefits.

    DOJ sues Colorado over in-state tuition for undocumented students

    The U.S. Department of Justice under President Donald Trump is suing Colorado over state laws that provide in-state tuition and financial aid to undocumented students, arguing they violate a federal statute requiring equal treatment of U.S. citizens. Colorado's 2013 ASSET Act allows undocumented students who attended local schools or lived in the state to qualify for resident tuition and state aid, which the DOJ claims conflicts with federal law. Colorado's Democratic Senator John Hickenlooper criticized the lawsuit as an attack on education access for young immigrants.
