Trump Issues Executive Order That Would Disqualify Public Service Student Loan Forgiveness For People Engaging In Activities That Go Against His Agenda - Above the Law

President Trump's recent executive order revises the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, stipulating that borrowers from organizations with a significant illegal purpose will be ineligible for loan forgiveness.

The implications of this order might reflect an ideological test, as it targets issues associated with immigration, gender identity, and civil rights.
