The Trump administration continued Texas Wednesday on a two -decades old law which offers undocumented residents of the State the same reduced tuition fees as other candidates of colleges in the State, arguing that the measure violates the federal immigration law.
A few hours later, the prosecutor General Ken Paxton of Texas said that he had accepted and would not dispute the trial. Instead, his office has filed a joint request from the Ministry of Justice asking a federal judge to overthrow the law.
The trial was surprised since the state dominated by the Republicans was more than intended to cooperate with the Trump administration on its strict approach to the application of immigration. The case was deposited in the Northern Texas District and brought a more familiar title to legal fighting on immigration during the Biden administration: United States of America c. State of Texas.
But Mr. Paxton’s decision, a hard line curator, next to the Trump administration was not a shock. He aligned himself with his approach to immigration and his policy – even if the Republicans of the State Legislative Assembly had just not been to change the law in the Legislative session just in end.
Mr. Paxton is currently locked in a fierce campaign to overthrow the John Cornyn senator in the state primary of the State next year, largely based on the aggressive application of the Attorney General of Immigration Laws.
“The end of this discriminatory and non -American provision is a major victory for Texas,” Paxton said in a statement announcing the joint request with the Ministry of Justice.
