#Teachers sue #Trump admin for stopping affordable #StudentLoan repayment plans

The American Federation of Teachers represents 1.8 million educators.

By Leah Sarnoff, March 19, 2025

"One of America's largest unions is taking aim at President Donald Trump's administration for shutting down access to affordable student loan repayment plans -- saying the decision is 'effectively breaking' the system.

"The American Federation of Teachers (#AFT), representing 1.8 million educators across the country, filed a lawsuit against the #DepartmentOfEducation in Washington, D.C., hoping to restore the programs that have now been shuttered for three weeks.

"The filing alleges the administration halting the application process for all Income-Driven Repayment (#IDR) plans and ordering student loan servicers to stop all processing violates #FederalLaw.

"AFT sued the United States Department of Education (ED) for effectively breaking the student loan system, denying borrowers' access to affordable loan payments and blocking progress towards Public Service Loan Forgiveness (#PSLF), in violation of federal law,' the union said in a statement Wednesday."

“When we say #DonaldTrump is a #scab, this is what we mean. When we say #Trump stands against everything our #union stands for, this is what we mean,” said #UAW President #ShawnFain.

Under #federalLaw, workers cannot be fired for going on #strike. Threatening to do so is illegal under the #NationalLaborRelationsAct.

“Despite clarity of the #legal issue & the dire need for an answer…,today 6 Justices refuse to recognize the rights #EMTALA protects.…The majority opts, instead, to dismiss these cases. But storm clouds loom….3 Justices suggest…that #States have free rein to nullify #FederalLaw.…& 3 more decline to disagree w/those dissenters on the #merits.…The latter group offers only…that 'petitioners have raised a difficult & consequential argument' about Congress's authority under the Spending Clause.…

“We have granted certiorari & heard argument. We have had ample opportunity to consider the issues. The parties were well represented on both sides, & dozens of amici have weighed in.…The necessary #legal reasoning is straightforward, & the answer to the question presented is…clear: #IdahoLaw prohibits what #FederalLaw requires, so…under the #SupremacyClause, #Idaho's #law is pre-empted.…There is simply no good reason not to resolve this conflict now.”
