DOJ sues University of Delaware to end in-state tuition for illegal aliens

The Department of Justice on Thursday filed a complaint against the University of Delaware over its policy of providing in-state tuition to illegal aliens.

“This Department of Justice’s efforts will not cease until we have challenged every state law or university policy that gives preferential treatment to illegal aliens over our Nation’s own citizens,” Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward Jr. said in a statement. “Congress long ago made clear that states cannot give reduced tuition to illegal aliens not available to all Americans. When a state Attorney General allows her own state to violate federal law, this department must step in to enforce it.”

The suit marks the 26th such action from the Trump DOJ against institutions offering in-state tuition to illegal aliens. The DOJ has previously brought cases in states across the country, securing court orders to end the practice in several.

Under the Trump administration, federal agencies have worked to curtail benefits available to illegal aliens to encourage self-deportation.
