The state of Oklahoma and the U.S. Department of Justice have agreed to overturn a state law that let illegal immigrants pay in-state tuition rates.

In-state tuition rates are offered at public colleges and universities to students who are residents of the state where the school is located. People who live outside the state typically pay higher tuition rates.
