## Resource

The Justice Department is suing Maryland over its in-state tuition policy for undocumented students, calling it unconstitutional discrimination that undermines federal law and incentivizes illegal immigration. With this being the 13th such federal lawsuit nationwide, the DOJ argues these benefits unfairly favor non-citizens at taxpayer expense—costing Maryland nearly $9 million annually—and threaten the fairness of America’s education system. Targeting state officials and university boards, the case could set a national precedent, following similar victories in Texas and Kentucky.
