Trump Admin Asks Supreme Court To Freeze Deadlines In Biden-Era Cases

The Department of Justice under President Donald Trump has requested the U.S. Supreme Court pause several legal cases tied to policies from President Joe Biden’s administration, including those on student loan forgiveness and environmental regulations. Acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris filed motions asking the Court to delay proceedings while the new administration reviews Biden’s policies.

The Supreme Court was set to hear arguments on these cases in the coming months. Trump’s DOJ now seeks to freeze all deadlines, putting the cases on hold indefinitely. Biden’s student loan forgiveness program, which canceled debts for over 5 million students, faced legal challenges, with some Republican attorneys general arguing Biden acted beyond his authority.

The 5th Circuit Court blocked Biden’s “borrower defense” rule, which aimed to cancel loans for defrauded students. The Supreme Court had agreed to review these cases, but the Trump administration’s request could render them moot. Trump has also opposed Biden’s climate agenda, pushing for increased domestic fossil fuel production.
