President Donald Trump revised a public student loan program to exclude those who violate immigration laws, engage in illegal activity during protests, or participate in a variety of actions his administration opposes.

The Friday night executive order looks to pare back some of the Biden administration’s moves to forgive public student loans after the former president’s initiative to enact sweeping student loan forgiveness failed.

The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked former President Joe Biden’s Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan, which would have transferred student loan debt from borrowers to taxpayers.

CNBC reported that the decision by the appeals court came after “seven Republican-led states” filed a lawsuit against the Department of Education’s SAVE plan and “argued” that Biden had no “authority to establish” the SAVE plan and that he had been “trying to find a roundabout way to forgive student debt.”

President Biden announced Friday that he is canceling $4.28 billion in student loans for nearly 55,000 public service workers as he prepares to exit the White House.

The latest round of debt forgiveness brings the total amount of canceled loans by Mr. Biden to $180 billion for nearly 5 million Americans, according to the Department of Education. 

The Biden administration announced on Friday that it would forgive another $4.28 billion in student loan debt for 54,900 borrowers who work in public service.

The relief is a result of fixes the U.S. Department of Education made to the once-troubled Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.

The debt relief comes in President Joe Biden’s final weeks in office.

Biden has forgiven more student debt than any other president. He has cleared nearly $180 billion for 4.9 million people with student debt.

The Education Department will suspend student loan payments and interest for around 8 million borrowers after a Thursday court order blocked the Biden administration’s latest repayment program.

After federal judges in Kansas and Missouri sided in favor of Republican attorneys general by blocking parts of President Joe Biden’s student loan repayment program, the Department of Education announced it is freezing monthly student loan payments and interests of 3 million borrowers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As he campaigns for reelection, President Joe Biden frequently touts his work on student debt, pointing to the millions of people who received cancellation under his watch. Yet relatively few Americans say they’re fans of his work on the issue, even among those who have student loans.

President Joe Biden announced on Wednesday that he is canceling some $7.7 billion in student debt for another 160,000 borrowers.

The latest relief will go to borrowers in three categories: almost 67,000 borrowers who are eligible for debt cancellation through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, approximately 54,000 who are enrolled in a new income-driven repayment plan, and 39,200 enrolled in earlier income-driven plans.

The administration has been announcing new rounds of forgiveness as more people qualify under those categories.

The Biden administration is canceling student loans for another 160,000 borrowers through a combination of existing programs.

The Education Department announced the latest round of cancellation on Wednesday, saying it will erase $7.7 billion in federal student loans. With the latest action, the administration said it has canceled $167 billion in student debt for nearly 5 million Americans through several programs.
