A federal judge has denied a lawsuit filed by the Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF) challenging the Biden administration’s plan to forgive student loans after the Department of Education (DoE) made some clarifications on its website.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of public interest attorney Frank Garrison, a beneficiary of the congressionally authorized Public Service Loan Forgiveness program that will forgive his student loans once payments are made for 10 years. Garrison has been making regular repayments on the loans. Biden’s student loan cancellation program will automatically cancel his debts, but then stick him with a new tax bill, thus causing irreparable harm, the PLF argued.
