"Minnesota's law allows undocumented students to qualify for in-state tuition if they meet certain criteria, including spending three years at and graduating from a Minnesota high school."
"The DOJ claimed the policy flouts federal law by allowing a benefit to noncitizens that citizens don't receive, but the judge sided with Minnesota leaders."
"Some states, such as Texas and Oklahoma, swiftly gave in to the DOJ's demands, while others continue to fight the ongoing lawsuits."
