Federal Judge Extends Block on Biden's Student Loan Forgiveness Plan

The temporary restraining order will remain in place for two more weeks as legal battles over the Biden administration's debt relief efforts continue.

A federal judge has extended a temporary restraining order preventing the Biden administration from implementing its latest student loan forgiveness plan for an additional 14 days.
The extension allows the court to review briefs and arguments from Republican-led states challenging the legality of the debt cancellation effort.
The Biden administration's plan aims to forgive up to $147 billion in student loans for borrowers in specific categories, including those who attended low-value schools and those who have been repaying loans for decades.
The legal challenges have caused significant uncertainty for millions of borrowers, with key court rulings expected in the coming weeks that could determine the future of the debt relief initiatives.
Polling indicates strong support among voters, especially younger ones, for continued efforts to cancel student loan debt, with many urging President Biden to keep fighting despite the legal setbacks.
