Colorado is the latest state targeted by the Department of Justice for its in-state tuition policies for undocumented students. The DOJ has sued 14 other states for allowing undocumented students to pay in-state tuition, three of which quickly agreed to end those policies. One case was dismissed and another ended in a win for the DOJ in federal court.
