In an unsigned order Friday night, the conservative-dominated Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily barred the Biden administration from moving ahead with student debt cancellation as judges weigh an effort by Republican attorneys general to block the program.
The court's one-page order said it decided to grant the GOP officials' emergency request for an "administrative stay" preventing the Biden administration from "discharging any student loan debt under the cancellation program," pending further review of the Republican legal challenge early next week.
