U.S. District Judge Thomas Ludington of the Eastern District of Michigan on Monday dismissed a lawsuit from two conservative groups seeking to halt the Biden administration’s latest plan to cancel student loan debt. Ludington said the groups did not have standing to bring a complaint, and even if they did, their alleged injuries were not sufficient, The Hill reports.
