Case Overview

The United States challenged an Illinois law that allows undocumented immigrants to receive in-state tuition.


The Law · How the Case Works

The Application

History

The United States argues Illinois's in-state tuition law for undocumented immigrants conflicts with federal immigration policy designed to deter illegal immigration. Illinois maintains the law is an educational policy within the state's traditional police powers and does not directly regulate immigration or conflict with specific federal statutes.

The Conclusion

The case is active before Judge David W. Dugan in the Southern District of Illinois, with the court to determine whether the state tuition law is preempted by federal law or violates constitutional limits on state authority.
