Texas Dream Act Under Legal Siege

Texas’s Dream Act, which lets undocumented high school grads pay in-state tuition, was blocked just one year ago after a federal lawsuit — but now students and advocates are fighting back in court, arguing they were denied a fair shot to defend the law.

The groups say the judge rushed to rule without first letting them join the case, and they’re pushing the Fifth Circuit to restore access — because for these students, this isn’t just legal theater; it’s the difference between education and economic exclusion.
