The Trump Administration is taking the 2024 Democratic vice-presidential nominee, Tim Walz, and his state to court for prioritizing foreign nationals above Americans.
The Department of Justice issued a press release a short time ago announcing that they had filed a complaint seeking to overturn Minnesota laws that provide free and discounted in-state tuition for illegal aliens.
This violates federal law, specifically 8 U.S.C. § 1623(a), which explicitly prohibits states from granting in-state tuition to illegal aliens unless all U.S. citizens—regardless of residency—are given the same benefit.
“Today, the United States is challenging laws in Minnesota that provide reduced in-state tuition — and in some cases, free tuition — for illegal aliens. These laws unconstitutionally discriminate against U.S. citizens, who are not afforded the same privileges, in direct conflict with federal law,” the press release reads.
“The Department of Justice has filed the complaint in the District of Minnesota. This challenge builds upon a recently successful lawsuit against the state of Texas on a similar law.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi released the following statement:
No state can be allowed to treat Americans like second-class citizens in their own country by offering financial benefits to illegal aliens.
The Department of Justice just won on this exact issue in Texas, and we look forward to taking this fight to Minnesota in order to protect the rights of American citizens first.
In addition to Walz, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is named in the lawsuit.

As TGP readers know, President Trump’s Department of Justice filed a lawsuit last week against Democrat Governor Andy Beshear and Kentucky state education officials for providing in-state college tuition to illegal aliens—while making out-of-state U.S. citizens pay full price.
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, targets Beshear, Education Commissioner Robbie Fletcher, and the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) for violating federal law and the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy Clause.
