I don't have much information yet, but CNN and the LA Time are reporting that the California Supreme Court has unanimously ruled in favor of in-state tuition for resident immigrant students.
From CNN:
The California Supreme Court has ruled unanimously that illegal immigrants may continue to receive in-state tuition at California colleges and Universities.
The decision overturns a lower court ruling.
The Los Angeles Times has more:
Illegal immigrants can qualify for in-state college tuition, court rules
Critics say the California law that state Supreme Court justices upheld conflicts with a federal ban on undocumented immigrants getting college benefits based on residency. An appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court is expected.
Illegal immigrants who graduated from state high schools can continue to receive lower, in-state tuition at California's public universities and colleges, the California Supreme Court decided unanimously Monday.
I'll post more as I find it. This is a DREAM come true for many students in the U.S. Let's hope this ruling stands.
From an email I received from National Council of La Raza-NCLR (not related to this ruling - they haven't posted anything yet.)
In a recent interview with Jorge Ramos on Univision, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D–NV) promised that he would bring the "Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act" (S. 729) up for a vote before the end of the year. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D–CA) has also said recently that she wants to push for a vote on the "DREAM Act" in the House.
