One day after Kentucky leaders agreed to follow federal law prohibiting in-state public college tuition rates for illegal aliens, the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a complaint against another state for noncompliance.

The lawsuit, filed in the Southern Illinois U.S. District Court, names Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, state Attorney General Kwame Raoul, and the board of trustees for the state’s university system. It cites a 1996 federal act that says illegal immigrants cannot receive lower in-state tuition rates if that same rate is not made available to all U.S. citizens.
