Illegal immigrants will no longer receive in-state tuition at Kentucky’s public colleges after a federal judge ruled the policy violated U.S. law and permanently blocked its enforcement.
The ruling, issued by U.S. District Judge Gregory F. Van Tatenhove, hands a win to the Trump administration and Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman after they challenged the policy as giving benefits to those in the country illegally that federal law does not allow.
The decision forces Kentucky’s higher education system to end the discounted rates after a months-long legal fight.
The lawsuit argued the policy violated federal law, which states that, "an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a state for any post-secondary education benefit unless a citizen or national of the United States is eligible for such a benefit … without regard to whether the citizen or national is such a resident."

Good grief! I still can’t get over this nonsense was happening at all.
Remove their tax-exempt status. These scumbags are disgusting.
I am shocked Kentucky allowed this.
YES!!!!!!
MORE ICE PLEASE!!!!!!
Guess I never realized that illegals were EVER getting in-state tuition. That’s insane on it’s face as they shouldn’t even be there to begin with.
Colleges and universities will wait for federal judges to block it.
Up to then they will issue free four year degrees to all of them as a form of reparation.
Hope both of those are grim jokes.
Yes, this is good news. Many more should follow suit. The real question is why is the nation educating criminals? Deport their sorry behinds.
