DOJ challenges Illinois law providing in-state tuition to undocumented students
Story by Lexi Lonas Cochran • 1h

The Hill's Headlines — September 2, 2025
The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Illinois on Tuesday for providing in-state tuition and scholarships to immigrant students without permanent legal status.

The complaint, filed in the Southern District of Illinois, alleges the state is in violation of federal law for allowing these benefits to go to undocumented students but not all U.S. citizens.
 
“Under federal law, schools cannot provide benefits to illegal aliens that they do not provide to U.S. citizens,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi. “This Department of Justice has already filed multiple lawsuits to prevent U.S. students from being treated like second-class citizens — Illinois now joins the list of states where we are relentlessly fighting to vindicate federal law.”

The Hill has reached out to Illinois’s attorney general for comment.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Would the DOJ be making this move if Johnson and Pritzker weren't such sh*theads? :pondering:

There was a reason they filed in the Southern District and not in the Northern or Central districts.
