BREAKING -- Texas federal judge rules Biden student debt relief program 'unlawful'
The lawsuit was filed by the Job Creators Network Foundation in October on behalf of a borrower who did not qualify for the full $20,000 in debt relief and another who is ineligible for the program. Challengers to the president's multi-billion dollar college debt relief program say the administration violated federal procedures by denying borrowers the chance to offer public comment on the plan before its August unveiling.
U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, said the program was"unlawful" in an order Thursday.Pittman issued an order earlier this month signaling his interest in moving quickly to decide the case, noting it wouldn't take the court so much time to determine if the plaintiffs had standing, or the right to sue, because they've been injured by the policy.
