Texas ended its 24-year-old law providing in-state tuition for undocumented students Wednesday after the federal government's demand to stop the practice.

The Department of Justice is suing the state of Texas over a longstanding policy that allows undocumented immigrants to receive in-state college tuition. Texas lawmakers considered outlawing the practice in the legislative session that ended Monday,

Texas offered the benefit for 24 years. The move came in response to a federal lawsuit, but state leaders hailed it as a win.
