The Ministry of Justice (doj) submitted a complaint challenging laws in Minnesota, which provides free tuition fees and reduce within the state to illegal foreigners, claiming that laws are unconstitutional.

Under Federal law, higher education institutions are prohibited from providing advantages to illegal foreigners who have not been provided to American citizens.

According to Doj, Minnesota laws are unconstitutional against American citizens and are directly inconsistent with federal law.

Public Prosecutor Bam Bondi said: “No country can be allowed to treat Americans like second -class citizens in their country by providing financial advantages to illegal foreigners,” said Public Prosecutor Bam Bondi. “The Ministry of Justice has just won this accurate issue in Texas, and we look forward to taking this battle to Minnesota in order to protect the rights of American citizens first.”

By filing the lawsuit, the Ministry of Justice asks Minnesota to stop the application of the law that requires colleges and public universities to provide education prices in the country and free academic fees based on certain income conditions for immigrants in the country illegally who maintain the establishment of the state.

Federal law prohibits higher education facilities from providing educational advantages to illegal immigrants, which are not provided to American citizens.

The lawsuit comes a few weeks after the Ministry of Justice has taken measures against Texas to provide similar benefits to illegal immigrants.

Both the two invitations were raised in response to executives signed by President Donald Trump since his return to the Oval Office in January.

Executive orders have been signed to ensure that illegal immigrants are unable to obtain the advantages of taxpayers or preferential treatment.

One of the orders, “ending the taxpayer support for the open border”, ordered all agencies with “a guarantee, to the maximum extent permitted by the law, that there are no advantages of financing from taxpayers to unqualified foreigners.”

The other thing, “protecting American societies from criminal foreigners”, directs officials to “take appropriate measures to stop the enforcement of the laws of states and localism, regulations, policies, and practices that foreigners prefer any groups of American citizens who possess illegal, or do not exceed them by federal laws.

Ultimately, Texas complied with the Ministry of Justice and stopped implementing the Texas Law of Dreams, which was originally submitted in February 2001.

The legislation, which was signed by the governor of the state, Rick Perry, a Republican, June 16, 2001, removed the state of federal immigration as a factor in determining the eligibility to pay the tuition fees in the state of Texas and universities for students who graduate from a secondary school in Texas and who benefit the minimum standards, academics and registration.

While the state immediately stopped enforcing, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has been entering since then.

On Tuesday, the American Civil Liberties Union in Texas, along with organizations such as the Texas Civil Rights Project and Democratic striker, submitted a request to intervene in litigation to defend the constitutionality of the Texas Dream Law against the Ministry of Justice.

The US Civil Liberties Union said that the order of the Ministry of Justice was agreed upon by Texas without an appropriate process and creates “complete uncertainty” for students and colleges.

The American Civil Liberties Union said in a press release: “With students ready to enroll in the school in the fall, the failure of the Ministry of Justice or the Public Prosecutor to defend the Texas Dreams Law does not threaten their ability to bear the tuition fees – and suddenly threatens their dreams to pursue higher education.” “By moving to intervention, these groups and individuals hope to challenge this abusive litigation strategy and defend the Texas Dream, which enabled a generation of Texas to develop their career and become leaders in our societies.”

Fox News Digital contacted the office of the ruler of Abbott to comment on the matter.
