Texas Dream Act goes to court over fight to restore in-state tuition for undocumented students
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is set to hear a case regarding the Texas Dream Act, which previously allowed undocumented students to pay in-state tuition. Advocates, including Students for Affordable Tuition and La Unión del Pueblo Entero, are seeking to defend the law after it was blocked last year following a lawsuit from the Trump administration. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office argues that the law conflicts with federal immigration statutes. The Texas Dream Act has benefited over 57,000 students, and its repeal could have significant economic impacts on the state. A ruling from the court is expected in the coming weeks or months.
