Illegal immigrants<\/a> will no longer receive in-state tuition at Kentucky\u2019s public colleges after a federal judge ruled the policy violated U.S. law and permanently blocked its enforcement.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The decision forces Kentucky\u2019s higher education system to end the discounted rates after a months-long legal fight.<\/p>\n

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 \u2026 without regard to whether the citizen or national is such a resident.”<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Coleman celebrated the ruling by Tatenhove, who wrote that the Kentucky education regulation<\/a> violated the Constitution\u2019s Supremacy Clause and “permanently enjoins the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education\u2026 from enforcing [it].”<\/p>\n

“Federal law is clear: illegal immigrants don\u2019t get preferential treatment at Kentucky\u2019s public universities, and Kentucky taxpayers certainly shouldn\u2019t be footing the bill. As Kentucky\u2019s chief law officer, I was proud to join the Trump Administration to make sure our Commonwealth is upholding federal law and fundamental fairness for American citizens,” Coleman exclusively told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ll continue focusing on helping Kentucky students reach for their full potential.”<\/p>\n

In August, Bondi\u2019s lawsuit led Kentucky officials to forge a consent decree<\/a>, or legal agreement, instead of fighting to defend the policy.<\/p>\n

OVER 100 CALIFORNIA COLLEGES ACCUSED OF DISCRIMINATING AGAINST US-BORN STUDENTS IN NEW DOJ COMPLAINT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The DOJ originally<\/a> named Kentucky Gov. Andrew Beshear as the defendant, but Beshear\u2019s office previously told Fox News Digital that Kentucky\u2019s KCPE education agency is independent of his office.<\/p>\n

While Coleman and others celebrated that development as potentially ending the policy, a court found the judiciary still needed to act on the constitutionality of the law, according to the first page of Van Tatenhove\u2019s ruling<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Here, despite the [education] council\u2019s agreement with the United States that its regulation is preempted, it continues to enforce the regulation. As such, a justiciable controversy remains present,” Van Tatenhove wrote.<\/p>\n

In his 22-page decision, Van Tatenhove wrote that his ruling was “precipitat[ed]” in part by a February 2025 executive order “ending taxpayer subsidization of open borders.”<\/p>\n

After the consent decree was forged in late August, a student advocacy group<\/a> attempted to intervene, and the court allowed it but rejected its arguments in favor of the policy.<\/p>\n

The ruling also said that states do have the right to extend certain benefits to illegal immigrants but must do so through law and not agency-based regulations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Beshear for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
