Austin, Texas (AP). A federal judge blocked the Texas Law on Wednesday, which for decades has given college students who did not have a lawful place of residence to obtain a lower state science, and quickly decided that Trump’s last administration’s efforts to fight immigration.
The order took place a few hours after the Justice Department applied to the court to prevent study policy, which was the first of its kind in the US. It started in Texas. Instead of fighting the trial against Texas, the State Republican Prosecutor General Ken Patton quickly stated to the court that his office supported him in preparation for the district judge Reed O’Connor to release the court.
The result was the court, suddenly blocking the Texas law, which some conservatives sought to abolish for years.
The judge’s ruling argued that the Texas Law was applicable in order to “not legally involved in the US …. (is) unconstitutional and invalid.”
The order applies only to Texas, but it can encourage conservatives to challenge similar laws in two dozen states.
“After completing this discriminatory and non-American attitude, Texas’ main victory,” said Paxton.
The Texas Law was intended to help “dreamers” or young adults who do not have legal status to obtain state science if they meet certain residency criteria.
Half of the country is now in place with similar laws, but Trump’s administration has filed a lawsuit in a conservative Texas, where Paxton, Republican Greg Greg Abbott and state lawmakers have long tried to support the president’s strict goals at the border.
The proceedings and the judgment also occur just two days after the end of the State Legislative Session, during which the draft law on the withdrawal of the Republican Group was considered, but ultimately there was no vote.
The court’s action deepened the latest executive orders signed by Trump to suspend any state or local law or other legal acts, and the administration feels discriminating against legal residents.
“According to the federal law, schools cannot benefit illegal foreigners that they do not bring to US citizens,” said US Attorney General Pam Bondi. “The Department of Justice will ruthlessly fight to approve the federal law and ensure that US citizens will not be treated as second -class citizens anywhere in the country.”
Based on the Alliance of Presidents on Higher Education and Immigration, Texas has about 57,000 documents that have enrolled in its state universities and colleges, non -profit -making university leaders ‘leaders’ immigration policy. There are about 690,000 students in the state at state universities in the state.
“The training of illegal immigrants in Texas is over,” said Abbott in a brief report of X.
The court’s action was filed in the Texas Northern District Vichita Waterfall, where Paxton and conservative cases often challenged the federal government and problems such as health care and gay and transsexual rights.
Initially, Texas’ science policy was adopted by the Broadcasting of the Law of the State and signed the law at the time Gov. Rick Perry, Republican, as a way to open higher education for students who do not have legal residency already living in the state. Then sponsors now say that this increases the economy of the state by creating a better educated and better prepared workforce.
“Target attacks against Texas students seeking accessible university education led by Trump’s administration will not help anyone, they only hurt us all,” said Luis Figueroa from each Texan, left-wing public policy groups.
The difference in the level of training is large. For example, at the Model University of Texas, a resident of Austine paid about $ 11,000 for a 2024-2025 school year compared to approximately $ 41,000 students from Texas. According to school estimates, other housing, stock and transportation costs may add nearly $ 20,000 more.
The law allowed students who did not have a legal resident status to enter state science if they live in the state for three years before graduating from high school, and for a year to start studying college. They also have to sign a statement promising to apply for the status of a legal resident as soon as possible.
However, this policy soon arose as discussions on illegal immigration increased, and critics called it unfairly legal residents. 2012 Perry, chairman of the Republican President, finished apology, saying that critics about the law “had no heart”.
The legislative efforts to abolish the Texas Act have repeatedly collapsed, but began attraction elsewhere. Florida Governor Ron Destuant, Republican, signed a bill this year, which in July. Will cancel the State Science Act.
“After graduating from Texas’s state science policy, there is a direct attack on the aspirations of thousands of students who grew up in our communities, and calls Texas’ home,” said Judith Cruz, Assistant to Houston Region Editrust Texas, who advocates educational opportunities for minorities and low-income students.
