The Department of Justice coordinated with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to kill the Texas Dream Act— a bill that allowed certain undocumented college students to pay in-state tuition— "in six hours," a top official said in a recent Republican gathering.
The Texas Dream Act let undocumented students who graduated from a Texas High School and met other residency requirements to pay for in-state tuition at Texas colleges and universities. The bill was an avenue for thousands of undocumented students to afford higher education.
