Missouri Judge Blocks Biden’s Student Loan Relief Efforts After Brief Reprieve

A Missouri judge has temporarily blocked President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan, halting relief efforts by the U.S. Department of Education. The ruling came one day after a federal judge in Georgia allowed a restraining order on the plan to expire. The legal challenge was brought by seven GOP-led states, claiming the debt relief program is illegal. The case has now moved to Missouri, where Judge Matthew Schelp will decide its fate. The decision has left borrowers in limbo, as the administration's plan to forgive student debt for millions remains paused.
