The Trump administration is suing the state of New Jersey, seeking to overturn state laws that financially help undocumented immigrants attend public colleges in the state.
The Department of Justice filed the lawsuit Thursday, which specifically targets two laws: One signed by former Gov. Chris Christie and one by former Gov. Phil Murphy.
The DOJ has filed similar lawsuits against other states—some of which have ended in favorable outcomes for the Trump administration—like in Texas, Kentucky and Oklahoma. Those lawsuits, however, also had state officials that supported rescinding the in-state tuition benefits.
