Trump Administration Sues to Block Texas Law Offering In-state Tuition to Illegal Immigrants
The Department of Justice is seeking to block a Texas law that allows college students to access reduced in-state tuition rates regardless of their immigration status, continuing the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration.
Filed in the Wichita Falls division of the Northern District of Texas, the lawsuit asked a federal judge to block the law that has been in place for almost 25 years, citing an executive order designed to stop any state or local laws deemed discriminatory against legal U.S. residents.

Trump, Musk's Public Feud
The Pulse with Francine Lacqua Elon Musk signaled he would move to cool tensions with US President Donald Trump, after differences between the two exploded Thursday into an all-out public feud. Earlier in the day, Musk called for Trump's impeachment and insinuated he was withholding the release of files related to disgraced New York financier Jeffrey Epstein because of his own presence in them. Trump, in turn, proposed cutting off the billionaire's government contracts, following his onetime adviser's repeated exhortations for Republicans to vote against the president's signature tax legislation. Musk's olive branch came after Tesla Inc. shares tanked 14% and his personal wealth dropped by $34 billion. Today's guests: Emmanuel Cau, Barclays European Equity Strategy Head, Gregory Peters, PGIM Fixed Income Co-CIO, Maria Demertzis, The Conference Board Economy, Strategy & Finance Center Europe Lead.
