The Department of Justice has filed suit to block Virginia’s law granting eligible undocumented students in‑state tuition, marking the seventh state challenged by the Trump administration over similar policies. The DOJ argues the state programs discriminate against U.S. citizens by offering reduced rates to undocumented residents who meet local criteria; Virginia’s law requires state high‑school graduation and two years of state tax filings. The legal challenge introduces immediate uncertainty for affected students and for public colleges that budget based on enrollment and tuition class structures. The case could reshape state‑level admissions and affordability policies and prompt donor, legislative, and administrative shifts across public higher education. Colleges should monitor the litigation closely, prepare contingency financial models, and review communications plans for prospective and currently enrolled students who may be affected by any injunction or ruling.
