Feds Sue Vermont for Giving Undocumented Residents the In-State Tuition Rate
- On Monday, the Justice Department filed lawsuits against New York, Connecticut, and Vermont, challenging state laws that allow undocumented students to pay in-state tuition rates at public colleges and universities.
- Targeting 17 states total, the Justice Department claims these "Dream Act" laws "seek to undermine our nation by placing aliens over citizens in clear defiance of Congress' commands."
- Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward stated, "Congress long ago made clear that states cannot put illegal aliens over our nation's own citizens," asserting New York, Vermont, and Connecticut violate federal law.
- Connecticut Attorney General William Tong denounced the lawsuits as "a cruel attack," declaring, "How we run our schools and teach our kids is none of your business."
- The Department vowed to end the practice nationwide, citing prior victories in Texas, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Illinois, where similar tuition programs were halted following Trump administration legal pressure.
