Latino borrowers' financial worries continue as GOP lawsuits block Biden's student relief plan

The Biden administration’s student debt relief plan announced this past summer is monumental for Latinos in particular: Roughly one- third are set to see their school debt eliminated outright under the initiative. 

But following a number of Republican lawsuits, that relief has for now been paused. The Supreme Court has agreed to take up the case in an expedited hearing, but declined to lift the lower court injunction. So for now, all that affected borrowers like Cristher Estrada-Pérez and her mom Daisy Pérez can do is wait.
