Illinois giving undocumented immigrants in-state tuition rate is unconstitutional, judge says
- A federal judge ruled that Illinois' laws providing in-state tuition, financial aid, and scholarships to undocumented immigrants are unconstitutional and invalid, siding with the Justice Department's lawsuit against the state.
- The ruling permanently prevents Illinois from enforcing the RISE Act, Illinois DREAM Act, and related in-state tuition policies for undocumented immigrants, with enforcement delayed 14 days to permit the state to seek appeals court intervention.
- The Justice Department argued that Illinois violated federal law by offering benefits to undocumented immigrants that are not equally available to all U.S. citizens, a position supported by U.S. Attorney Steven Weinhoeft.
- Similar legal challenges and settlements have occurred in other states such as Colorado, Nebraska, Texas, Kentucky, and Oklahoma, as part of a broader Trump administration effort to restrict such state benefits.
