A federal judge has struck down President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness program, declaring it illegal. Biden’s program was already on hold due to a separate legal challenge, but a new lawsuit filed by a conservative group will delay student loan relief even further. On Thursday, a Texas federal judge — who was nominated by then-President Donald Trump — found that the executive branch does not have clear congressional authorization to create the student loan forgiveness program. The Biden administration is appealing the decision. As for the 26 million borrowers who already provided their necessary details to be considered for debt forgiveness, the Department of Education “will hold onto their information so it can quickly process their relief once we prevail in court,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.
