Federal court invalidates Illinois in-state tuition for undocumented students
U.S. District Judge Stephen McGlynn in the Southern District of Illinois ruled that Illinois’ in-state tuition policies—the RISE Act and the Illinois DREAM Act—are unconstitutional as applied to undocumented immigrants, permanently barring enforcement but delaying it 14 days to allow appeals; the decision advances the DOJ’s immigration agenda and follows similar lawsuits against other states.
