DOJ sues Colorado over in-state tuition for undocumented students

The U.S. Department of Justice is suing Colorado over state laws providing in-state tuition and financial aid benefits to undocumented students, arguing they violate federal law. The lawsuit targets the 2013 ASSET Act, which allows undocumented students meeting residency criteria to qualify for state educational benefits. The DOJ claims these benefits conflict with federal statutes requiring equal treatment for U.S. citizens and non-lawful residents.
