DOJ asks judge to strike down Kentucky regulation on undocumented students' tuition

The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Kentucky on Tuesday over a regulation allowing students lacking certain documentation to receive in-state tuition at colleges and universities.  

The lawsuit, filed in the Eastern District of Kentucky, alleges Kentucky is breaking immigration law by allowing reduced tuition for these individuals.  

“No state can be allowed to treat Americans like second-class citizens in their own country by offering financial benefits to illegal aliens,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said.
