Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach said Thursday he is joining ten other state attorneys general in a lawsuit against the Biden Administration over its student loan forgiveness program.
The multi-state lawsuit was filed in federal court, and it argues that the U.S. Department of Education doesn’t have the authority to alter student loan repayment plans, essentially canceling more than $156 million in student loan debt. It also argues that the U.S. Supreme Court struck down an earlier version of Biden’s illegal student loan program last summer. The Court ruled that program violated federal law, and that only Congress can authorize the forgiveness of student loans—which requires spending taxpayer money to do so.
Kobach is joined in the lawsuit by attorneys general from Alabama, Alaska, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, Nebraska, South Carolina, Texas, and Utah.
