Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond recently moved to end in-state tuition assistance for illegal immigrants after the Department of Justice filed a legal complaint.

The DOJ argued an Oklahoma law conflicted with federal law that “prohibits aliens not lawfully present in the United States from getting in-state tuition benefits that are denied to out-of-state U.S. citizens,” the filing states. The state law in question provided tuition aid covered by scholarships and financial aid to students without immigration status if they applied for permanent residency within the state.
