Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach and a coalition of 11 states are suing President Joe Biden and his administration over the $156 billion in Federal Student Debt Forgiveness from the Saving On A Valuable Education Plan. Kobach says he plans to ask a federal judge to issue an injunction so borrowers remain obligated to make payments on their student loans. The lawsuit alleges the Biden administration violated the U. S. Constitution’s Separation of Powers, that the agency exceeded its statutory authority, that the agency’s action is “arbitrary and capricious” and the agency violated laws on administrative procedures.

Kobach says Biden is defying the ruling of the United States Supreme Court while also seizing power from Congress. The suit asks the court to declare the Save Plan as unlawful and block it from being implemented.
