US EditionDOJ Challenges California Measure on College Tuition Benefits for Undocumented Immigrants
The DOJ argues California's policies violate federal law by granting in-state tuition and financial aid to about 80,000 undocumented students, claiming discrimination against U.S. citizens.
- On Thursday, the Trump administration filed a federal suit challenging Assembly Bill 540 and parts of the California Dream Act that allow in-state tuition and financial aid for undocumented students.
- Citing federal law, the Trump administration argues the 1996 federal law restricts residence-based post-secondary benefits and says California unlawfully discriminates against U.S. citizens, a claim echoed by the U.S. Attorney.
- Named defendants include Gov. Gavin Newsom, California Attorney General Rob Bonta, the University of California Board of Regents, the California State University Board of Trustees, and the Board of Governors for the California Community Colleges, with roughly 80,000 undocumented college students statewide.
- The filing accelerates a wave of litigation as the Trump administration files its third lawsuit against California in one week, and higher education and state officials were not immediately available to comment.
- The state law also covers certain former California residents and grants in-state tuition to U.S. citizens who graduated from California high schools but moved out before enrolling, with Gen. Pam Bondi commenting amid similar suits in Texas, Kentucky, Illinois, Oklahoma and Minnesota.
