Six Republican-led states requested the injunction, fearing the Department of Education could unlawfully cancel billions in loans.
A federal judge in Missouri has placed a temporary hold on President Joe Biden's latest student loan forgiveness plan, just as a separate injunction in Georgia was lifted.The original Georgia ruling expired on October 3, allowing Missouri and five other Republican-led states to take immediate action.Also joining the suit are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, North Dakota and Ohio.
For a brief window, it seemed that the government would be allowed to move forward, but that opportunity quickly closed.The Department of Education vowed to defend its proposal in court.'This lawsuit was brought by Republican elected officials who made clear they will stop at nothing to prevent millions of their own constituents from getting breathing room on their student loans,' a representative from the department said.
