The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against the state of Minnesota and Democratic Governor Tim Walz over a program designed to offer financial aid to illegal immigrants pursuing higher education.
The DOJ had previously blocked a similar initiative in Texas by threatening legal action and has already moved forward with a related lawsuit in Kentucky, The Blaze reported on Friday.
“No state can be allowed to treat Americans like second-class citizens in their own country by offering financial benefits to illegal aliens,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement regarding the Minnesota lawsuit.
