EDUCATION DEPT TO CURB PSLF FOR IMMIGRANT-AID NONPROFITS UNDER TRUMP ORDER

A proposed overhaul of Public Service Loan Forgiveness would redefine which nonprofits qualify, potentially excluding organizations that assist undocumented immigrants and transgender youth. President Trump’s executive order directs the Education Department to ensure PSLF excludes groups with a “substantial illegal purpose,” a vague standard that legal experts say could chill access to services and deter public-interest legal careers. Implementation could begin July 2026 pending rulemaking; more than 10,000 comments were submitted. Advocates warn immigrant legal aid and related service providers nationwide could be hit hardest.
