A judge blocks Trump's plan to limit a major student-loan forgiveness program for public servants

A federal judge in Boston blocked the Trump administration's plan to limit eligibility for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program just one day before implementation. Judge Myong Joun sided with Democratic-led states, cities, and non-profits. These parties argued the US Department of Education's rule could unfairly target organizations supporting immigration rights and transgender healthcare by claiming they have a substantial illegal purpose, thereby stripping public service workers of their federal student loan forgiveness benefits.
