After the Trump administration sued Texas over the Texas Dream Act, a North Texas judge ruled Wednesday night to permanently enjoin the law from being enforced.

Texas Republicans saw expanding college access for certain undocumented students as a way to build an educated workforce. Now, some GOP lawmakers feel only U.S. citizens should receive those benefits.

Tens of thousands of students without legal status will now face steep tuition hikes. Immigration advocates expect the ruling will be challenged in court.
