The Department of Justice has filed a complaint against Minnesota challenging laws that provide free and reduced in-state tuition to illegal aliens, citing unconstitutionality and discrimination against U.S. citizens. This action follows similar lawsuits against Texas for offering benefits to illegal immigrants. The lawsuits are in response to executive orders signed by President Trump to prevent taxpayer benefits for illegal immigrants. Texas has complied with the DOJ's demands, but the ACLU has intervened to defend the constitutionality of the Texas Dream Act.
