DOJ moves to overturn New Jersey’s in-state tuition for undocumented students

The Department of Justice is suing New Jersey to overturn two laws that extend in-state tuition and state-funded financial aid to undocumented students, arguing they violate federal law by giving benefits not available to U.S. citizens. The laws, initially enacted by former Gov. Chris Christie (2013) and expanded by Gov. Phil Murphy (2018), require certain criteria (NJ high school attendance, diploma, and a legalization affidavit) to qualify. New Jersey officials say the laws are lawful and note similar challenges against other states, while the Trump administration has pressed multiple lawsuits against NJ policies and related immigration actions.

Texas Ends In-State Tuition for Undocumented Students Following DOJ Lawsuit

Texas has ended in-state tuition for undocumented students following a federal lawsuit that argued the law was unconstitutional, with a judge blocking its enforcement. The law, enacted in 2001, allowed undocumented students to pay in-state rates if they had lived in Texas for three years before high school graduation. The federal Department of Justice contended that this practice discriminated against U.S. citizens and violated federal law, leading to the legal challenge and the law's suspension. The move has sparked debate over the economic and educational impact on students and the state's workforce.

California Expands In-State Community College Tuition to Mexican Residents Near Border

California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a new law allowing low-income Mexican residents living within 45 miles of the California-Mexico border to attend certain community colleges in the state at in-state tuition rates. The pilot program, set to begin next year and run until 2029, aims to make education more accessible for low-income students and prepare them for jobs. The legislation requires students to be either US or Mexican citizens with a required visa. The move comes as part of efforts to address the high cost of living in California and ensure that talented students are not lost due to financial constraints. Additionally, Newsom signed a separate law raising the minimum wage for healthcare workers to $25 per hour over the next decade.
