Prosecution filed by the Attorney General Pam Bondi Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman led to a deal on in-state tuition for illegal immigrants by Fox News Digital in a Thursday interview.
Coleman says The Kentucky Council on Higher Education (KCPE) agreed to change state policies after the Justice Department first resorted to federal courts to provisions of state law 13 KAR 2:045.
The lawsuit states that Kentucky’s policy violates 18 USC 1623, which states: “No foreigner who is legally present in a country in which the United States resides shall not be legally present, unless it is possible to obtain such benefits, a foreigner who is not eligible for any benefits, whether in the absence of such a citizen or citizen, is eligible.
The Justice Department initially appointed Kentucky Governor Andrew Beshear as the defendant, but Beshear’s office had previously told Fox New Digital that the University of Kentucky’s College Education Council was independent of the governor’s office.

Coleman noted that the governor did play a role in appointing council members.
“Under current federal law, any illegal immigrant is prohibited from qualifying for higher education benefits, Like state tuition feesunless the same benefits are provided to every American citizen. ” Coleman said.

Coleman said in an interview that the decision was completely formal until the federal district court judge signed the agreement between the parties, and he emphasized that it was only a form.
“It’s not a term that I didn’t expect to use often,” he said of the case.
Coleman said of what he said: “This is a term in Harry Potter or Roald Dahl’s, but the ridiculous thing is, what we are dealing with here.”

“There is a joint motion, which is about the so-called consent judgment,” he said, adding that he has not made any formal statements on the case with due respect that the judge must sign the consent agreement.
In a previous report by Fox News Digital, a Beshear spokesman pointed out that the governor had no power over KCPE, but Coleman didn’t seem to believe the dynamic completely.
He said Beshear “has no hesitation to praise any positive policies of KCPE.” “He appointed most members of KCPE, and in the real world you are responsible for the people you appoint these roles, you have an impact on the people you appoint these roles, but of course, he certainly wants to leave the role due to the meaningless nature.”

“I do praise (KCPE) for doing the right thing and following the law, but the Department of Justice and all its legal leverage and the State Chief Executive Officer focused on legality before doing the right thing,” he said. “That was disappointing.”

The best and smartest people to come to this Federation, not those who are not in their position, those who violate our laws.”
He also said he hopes Bundy will continue to pursue other countries in more than a dozen states with similar policies.
“I have a complete grasp of common sense to return whether girls are being protected from men in the movement to enforce federal laws in the context of immigration,” he said. “I provide our college with the best and smartest support for us, rather than continuing this motivation for those who can’t fill seats in the classroom.”
“It’s not only illegal, it’s back to the concept of just gripping and ridiculousness.”
