Massachusetts Tuition Law Under Fire | Boston News

A federal lawsuit is targeting Massachusetts’ new Tuition Equity Law, which lets undocumented students who graduated from Mass high schools pay in-state tuition — sparking a legal battle over state vs. federal authority and whether these students are being treated as second-class citizens. While the DOJ argues this violates federal immigration law, state officials and advocates say it’s about educational access based on local schooling, not citizenship. This case is part of a broader Trump-era push against immigrant-friendly policies, with similar lawsuits filed in 17 other states. Though the law remains in effect for now, the looming court deadline and uncertainty are causing stress for students and colleges alike, especially those serving large immigrant communities.
