The Department of Justice filed a complaint against Penn State on November 5, 2026, challenging its policy of offering in-state tuition rates to some immigrants in the country illegally. This action is part of a broader crackdown by the Trump administration. Two dozen states once offered these tuition breaks, which often had bipartisan support. However, as the Trump administration began suing last year, the policies ended in several states including Kentucky, Illinois, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, and Florida. The federal government argues that federal law prevents states from providing preferential benefits to immigrants in the U.S. illegally, regardless of their residency status.
