The Trump administration dropped its appeal defending changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.
The Justice Department on Wednesday withdrew its appeal of a judge's ruling that blocked the Education Department's limits on who could qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. The proposed rules would have excluded workers at nonprofits focused on immigration rights and other left-leaning issues. Each side will pay its own legal fees, and the filing offered no further explanation.
