The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against California Governor Gavin Newsom. The legal action challenges a state law that provides in-state college tuition to immigrants living in the country without legal permission.

The lawsuit escalates a legal dispute between state and federal authorities. It will now be decided by the courts.
