"The Justice Department argues that New Jersey's laws and policies "unconstitutionally discriminate against U.S. citizens who are not afforded the same reduced tuition rates, scholarships, or subsidies.""
"Several Republican-led states, when sued, quickly moved to scrap their laws and policies. But Democratic-led states have fought the administration, and Minnesota recently won a judgment in its favor."
"The New Jersey state attorney general said the lawsuit is a distraction, stating, "We look forward to responding in court, and to returning the focus to ensuring public safety and all the other critical work of our office.""
The Trump administration has initiated a lawsuit against New Jersey, marking it as the ninth state targeted for allowing undocumented students to pay in-state tuition. The Justice Department claims that New Jersey's policies unconstitutionally favor undocumented students over U.S. citizens who do not receive the same tuition benefits. While some Republican-led states have quickly repealed similar laws, Democratic-led states have resisted, with Minnesota recently achieving a favorable ruling. New Jersey's attorney general views the lawsuit as a distraction from more pressing public safety issues.
