U.S. SUES ILLINOIS
The U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois filed a complaint in federal court against the state of Illinois for policies directing financial support for illegal aliens that are not provided to non-resident U.S. citizens. The suit claims that federal law prohibits states from granting postsecondary education benefits to noncitizen migrants unless the state provides equivalent benefits to all U.S. citizens, regardless of residency.
