Kansas has secured a nationwide preliminary injunction halting the latest iteration of President Biden’s student loan cancellation plan, Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach announced today. The ruling prevents the Biden administration from implementing its new regulation to cancel student loans, which was set to commence on July 1.
"Kansas's victory today is a victory for the entire country. As the court correctly held, whether to forgive billions of dollars of student debt is a major question that only Congress can answer. Biden’s administration is attempting to usurp Congress’s authority. This is not only unconstitutional, it’s unfair. Blue-collar Kansas workers who didn’t go to college shouldn’t have to pay off the student loans of New Yorkers with gender studies degrees," Kobach stated.
The decision was issued by U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree, who was appointed by President Obama.
