FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW
This week, Arizona voters passed Proposition 308, which will allow undocumented students in the state to pay in-state tuition rates at public universities and colleges if the attended high school in Arizona for at least two years.
Arizona now joins more than 20 states that recognize the financial hardship that out-of-state tuition imposed on young, undocumented immigrants.
This fact sheet from the American Immigration Council examines how granting in-state tuition rates to all Arizona graduates will help fill critical workforce needs and boost the state’s economy.

ACROSS THE NATION
This week, a federal judge issued a decision that will end Title 42. This obscure public health law—originally invoked by the Trump administration and continued under President Biden—allowed the U.S. government to expel migrants back to Mexico or their home countries without letting them seek asylum.
Department of Homeland Security officials have carried out nearly 2.5 million expulsions under Title 42 since its implementation at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This fact sheet from the American Immigration Council explains how Title 42 came into place, and how it has affected asylum seekers and the U.S. asylum system at large.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
In response to Judge Sullivan’s ruling regarding Title 42, the American Immigration Council spoke to the New York Times [[link removed]] to unpack how this will impact migrants at the border.
“What this means is that normal immigration law is in effect at the border. Migrants cannot be expelled to Mexico or their home countries.”
