The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Feb. 6 to a Department of Justice (DOJ) request to halt a pending student loan case but declined to pause processing three environmental regulation cases.

The new rulings came after the DOJ asked the court on Jan. 24 to put the Biden-era cases on hold because the department changed or is considering changing its position on the cases following the inauguration of President Donald Trump on Jan. 20.
