States sue Trump admin over rule limiting student loan forgiveness for public servants

� New York Attorney General Letitia James and more than a dozen other state attorneys general on Monday sued the Trump administration over its new rule limiting eligibility for Public Service Loan Forgiveness.

� The AGs� lawsuit was prompted by the U.S. Department of Education�s final rule, released last week, that changes the definition of a �qualifying employer� under the loan relief program.

� The rule will exclude certain organizations �that engage in unlawful activities� such as �supporting terrorism and aiding and abetting illegal immigration,� according to an Education Department statement.
