The Justice Department’s lawsuit says the regulation violates federal law by enabling undocumented students to qualify for the lower tuition rate at Kentucky’s public colleges and universities.

The Justice Department sued Kentucky politicians over in-state tuition benefits for undocumented students, just as Texas students and advocates are pushing back against a lawsuit that killed a similar state policy.

President Donald Trump’s administration has asked a federal judge to strike down a Kentucky regulation that it says unlawfully provides undocumented students with access to reduced in-state college tuition.
