President Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness program can proceed after a judge Wednesday let a temporary restraining order on the plan expire. It’s a minor victory for the Biden administration just weeks ahead of the presidential election. The lawsuit was brought in September by seven GOP-led states — Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, North Dakota and Ohio — against Biden and Education Secretary Miguel Cardona. U.S.
The judge said that the 'most equitable result' is to transfer the case to a district 'in which venue is proper.' He wrote that he would transfer the case to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. The states that brought the lawsuit have argued that the administration’s rule that would mass-cancel student debt would be detrimental to income tax revenue. Last month, Hall had extended a temporary restraining order on the plan for an additional 14 days.
