The Fifth Circuit blocked Biden's new rules to ease the debt relief process for defrauded borrowers.
The changes to borrower defense are now blocked as the legal process plays out.
The rules would create a more streamlined application process for borrowers seeking debt relief, along with expanding the types of misconduct that would qualify a borrower for a loan discharge.
"Defrauded borrowers are legally entitled to relief and their institutions should be held accountable," he said.
For now, the department's new rules for borrower defense will be blocked as the legal process proceeds.
