Trump administration sues to block Calif. tuition breaks for migrants - UPI.com

Sacramento — The U.S. Justice Department sued California on Thursday, challenging state laws that let undocumented students qualify for in-state tuition and financial aid. The complaint, filed in federal court in Sacramento, asks a judge to declare the residency exemptions unconstitutional and to bar state officials and university regents from enforcing them. The filing cites federal statutes and executive orders restricting public benefits for people unlawfully present. The department said the laws discriminate against U.S. citizens who pay higher out-of-state rates. It was the Justice Department's third lawsuit against California this week.
