President Trump has signed an executive order targeting the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, a popular student debt relief mechanism. The order restricts participation for borrowers and employers that the White House deems in violation of its agenda, including working with immigrants and the transgender community. It’s also expected to target groups that defend Palestinian rights. Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a legal expert with the American Immigration Council, said, “This is shockingly unlawful and a clear First Amendment violation. The PSLF program provides the president no authority to restrict it to only those people who work for nonprofits whose work he supports. Expect lawsuits within short periods of time.”
