The U.S. Department of Justice is suing Maryland over allegations that the state university system is providing in-state tuition and financial assistance to undocumented students.
The Trump administration argues Maryland’s policies violate federal statutes by giving benefits to people living in the country illegally that aren’t available to all U.S. citizens. The DOJ is asking a federal court to block the state from enforcing the policy.

Maryland is now the 13th state targeted in the administration’s legal challenge to in-state tuition programs for undocumented students, including in Texas, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Nebraska, where lawsuits have resulted favorable orders permanently enjoining and declaring unconstitutional analogous laws, the DOJ said.

After the DOJ announced it was suing Maryland, state leaders have expressed their support for the in-state tuition law, including Gov. Wes Moore.

He added the state has offered in-state college tuition for high school graduates that meet specific requirements, along with other Republican and Democratic states across the country.
