5th Circuit Court of Appeals Ruling
The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has backed a block on a challenge to the Texas Dream Act, which allows some unauthorized immigrants to pay in-state tuition rates at Texas colleges. This ruling was made after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and the Trump administration reached an agreement to end provisions of the Texas law that allowed some unauthorized immigrants to pay in-state tuition rates.
Implications for Unauthorized Immigrants
This ruling has implications for unauthorized immigrants who may be eligible for in-state tuition rates. Under the Dream Act, unauthorized immigrants who arrived in the US as minors and grew up in Texas may be eligible for in-state tuition rates. However, this ruling may limit access to such education for some unauthorized immigrants.
