DOJ Sues Colorado For Offering In-State Tuition Aid To Illegal Immigrants

Authored by Naveen Athrappully via The Epoch Times,

The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Colorado on Thursday over state regulations that provide in-state tuition and financial aid to illegal immigrants.

The July 23 lawsuit, filed with the District Court for the District of Colorado, accused Colorado of ignoring Title 8 of the U.S. Code Section 1623, which bans illegal immigrants from being eligible for post-secondary education benefits in a state unless the same benefits are provided to all U.S. citizens, irrespective of their state of residence.

Colorado's Advancing Students for a Stronger Tomorrow Act, initially passed in 2013 and amended in 2019 and 2022, allows illegal immigrant students living in the state to access in-state tuition and financial aid.

In-state tuition benefits are granted to eligible students when applying to Colorado public universities or community colleges, whereas out-of-state U.S. citizens are required to pay higher tuition rates at these institutions.

"These statutes constitute blatant unequal treatment favoring illegal aliens over U.S. citizens. Worse, such preferential treatment is squarely prohibited and preempted by Congress," the lawsuit said.

According to a fact sheet from the Colorado Department of Higher Education, the Act removed several barriers that had prevented thousands of illegal immigrant high school students from qualifying for in-state tuition and financial benefits.

The 2022 revision of the Act reduced the time an illegal immigrant student needed to attend high school to obtain these benefits from at least three years to just one year.

Under the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, extending eligibility for post-secondary education benefits to illegal immigrants is "unconstitutional," the lawsuit said. Several courts have struck down similar in-state tuition laws as unconstitutional.

For instance, earlier this month, the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a case filed by the Trump administration that Texas cannot offer in-state college tuition to illegal immigrants under its Dream Act, ruling that federal law overrides state policy.

In the Colorado lawsuit, the DOJ asked the court to enter a judgment declaring that the state's Advancing Students for a Stronger Tomorrow Act violates the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause. It asked the court to issue a permanent injunction prohibiting the defendants from enforcing the Act or any similar statute.

Defendants in the lawsuit include the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, the Colorado Department of Higher Education, and its executive director.

In a July 23 statement, the DOJ said that the lawsuit against Colorado was the 14th case filed by the department challenging in-state tuition policies for illegal immigrants.

"By granting illegal aliens in-state tuition, Colorado is violating federal law and subsidizing education for illegal aliens at the taxpayers' expense," Associate Attorney General Stanley E. Woodward, Jr. said in the statement.

"This Department will not cease until President [Donald] Trump's promise is fulfilled: illegal aliens will not receive benefits denied to our Nation's own citizens."

The Epoch Times reached out to the Colorado governor and the Colorado Department of Higher Education for comments, but did not receive a response by publication time.

In addition to Texas, the Trump administration has succeeded in getting permanent injunctions against in-state tuition benefits for illegal immigrants in Kentucky, Nebraska, and Oklahoma.

Cases filed against California, Virginia, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Kansas, and Minnesota are pending.

Meanwhile, the DOJ announced in a July 24 statement that the District Court for the Southern District of Illinois ruled in favor of the federal government in a lawsuit against Illinois's in-state tuition benefits for illegal immigrants.

The case was filed in September 2025, with the state subsequently filing a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. The DOJ said that Illinois chose to give preferential treatment to illegal immigrants while not extending that treatment to Americans outside Illinois.

"This ruling enforces the statute Congress wrote and stops the State from putting illegal aliens ahead of American citizens," U.S. Attorney Steven D. Weinhoeft said in the statement.

In a July 23 fact sheet update, the National Immigration Law Center stated that adoption of "tuition equity" laws and policies across various states suggests that such actions help both U.S. citizens and immigrants of all statuses by reducing high school dropout rates and increasing the number of students pursuing college degrees.

Nvidia's Taipei Office Raided As Taiwan's AI Chip-Smuggling Dragnet Results In Arrests

Taiwanese prosecutors have detained an Nvidia employee and searched the chipmaker's Taipei office, the first time the island's criminal investigation into the diversion of restricted AI hardware to China has reached inside the company whose processors sit at the center of it.

The Keelung District Prosecutors Office said Tuesday it had detained a man surnamed Chang on suspicion of falsifying business documents under the Criminal Code, after investigators searched his home and his workplace on July 24. Prosecutors said Chang is "strongly suspected of having committed the offences, and that there is a risk of flight, destruction of evidence, and collusion with accomplices or witnesses." A court granted the detention request.

The statement did not name Nvidia. Bloomberg first reported that Chang works for the company and that the search covered his desk at Nvidia's Taipei office, and Bloomberg's sources said the detention also involves an allegation of breach of trust. Prosecutors have not accused Nvidia of any wrongdoing.

Seven people are now being held in the case, including two from Super Micro Computer and one from Taiwan-listed Albatron Technology. Chang is the first known Nvidia employee to face detention in a chip diversion case anywhere.

The investigation opened in May, when Taiwanese officials said they were examining the shipment of high-end AI servers built by Super Micro and containing restricted Nvidia chips to China, Hong Kong and Macau in violation of US export controls. Those held are accused of forging documents to move roughly 50 Super Micro servers. Some cleared Taiwanese customs and were routed to China through Japan, an official previously told AFP.

Taiwanese media have described Chang as a senior business-development manager and reported that prosecutors are examining end-user and know-your-customer documentation he is alleged to have signed off on - the paperwork layer that export compliance depends on. Prosecutors have released no further detail on his role or the evidence.

Nvidia, whose chips power most of the world's advanced AI systems, said it sells primarily to established partners and original equipment manufacturers that help ensure compliance with US export rules. "Smuggling is a nonstarter," a spokesperson said. "Even relatively small exporters and shipments are subject to thorough review and scrutiny on both sides of the globe, and any diverted products would have no service, support, or updates."

The American Case

Taiwan's investigation runs alongside a far larger US enforcement action. In March, the Justice Department unsealed charges against Super Micro co-founder and board member Yih-Shyan "Wally" Liaw, Taiwan sales manager Ruei-Tsang "Steven" Chang and contractor Ting-Wei "Willy" Sun, alleging a conspiracy to divert roughly $2.5 billion in Super Micro servers carrying restricted Nvidia GPUs - including H200 and B200 parts - to China between 2024 and 2025 without Commerce Department licenses.

Liaw's trial is set for November 2. He faces up to 20 years on the lead conspiracy count. Chang has been described in earlier reporting as a fugitive. Super Micro was not charged, has said it is cooperating, and placed the implicated employees on leave. Taiwanese prosecutors have said it is too early to tell whether their case connects to the American one.

The Gap Prosecutors Are Working Around

Taiwan manufactures the world's most advanced semiconductors and assembles them into the servers at issue. It has no statute that directly criminalizes exporting AI chips to China.

That is why the charges in Keelung are forgery and false business records rather than anything touching the diversion itself. A proposed amendment to Taiwan's Foreign Trade Act, adding what has been described as a mainland China semiconductor clause, would let prosecutors charge the export directly. It has not passed. The Ministry of Economic Affairs has confirmed consultations with Washington on adopting performance-threshold controls modeled on the US framework, without committing to a timeline.

Seven weeks into the case, prosecutors are still building it out of the general Criminal Code.

Washington has restricted sales of Nvidia's most capable accelerators to China since 2022, on the argument that hardware that trains commercial models also trains military and surveillance ones. Blackwell-class parts remain under a presumption of denial, meaning license applications are effectively refused. The H200 was moved to case-by-case review in January.

Chinese demand has not moved with the policy. Older-generation parts command steep premiums on the gray market, and diversion reports have circulated for years. The servers in the Taiwan case are worth a fraction of the American one, which is roughly the point: the hardware is scarce enough that even small volumes are worth forging paperwork over.
