A Louisiana attorney filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration’s student loan debt forgiveness plan, representing yet another legal challenge against the program.
Attorney Tommy Badeaux filed (pdf) the suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana in New Orleans and accused the White House of infringing on the Constitution’s separation of powers clause by forgiving billions of dollars in debt without any action from Congress. He was joined by the Pelican Center for Justice and the Pelican Institute for Public Policy, according to the groups.
