Minnesota Judge Upholds In-State Tuition for Undocumented Students, Defying DOJ

A federal judge in Minnesota has ruled in favor of public universities offering in-state tuition rates and scholarships to certain undocumented immigrants, dismissing a DOJ lawsuit. The judge found no discrimination against U.S. citizens, as Minnesota law extends these benefits to high school graduates, regardless of status or residency. State Attorney General Keith Ellison praised the decision, highlighting its positive impact on Minnesotas workforce. Despite similar challenges in other states, this ruling preserves access for thousands of students and underscores the tension between state education policies and federal immigration rules.
