President Donald Trump‘s administration has secured a legal win in Texas after a federal judge blocked a law providing college students without legal residency access to reduced in-state tuition.
U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor’s decision on Wednesday was announced just hours after the Justice Department sued to block the policy, which was introduced in 2001. The DOJ’s move was backed by Texas’ Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton.
“Today, I entered a joint motion along with the Trump Administration opposing a law that unconstitutionally and unlawfully gave benefits to illegal aliens that were not available to American citizens,” Paxton said in a statement.
“Ending this discriminatory and un-American provision is a major victory for Texas.”
Newsweek contacted the Department of Justice for comment on Thursday outside of regular working hours.
