These public service workers have dedicated their careers to serving their communities, but because of past administrative failures, never got the relief they were entitled to under the law, President Joe Biden, via statement.

Because of the fixes my administration has made, we have now canceled student debt for over 870,000 public service workers — compared to only about 7,000 public service borrowers ever receiving forgiveness prior to my administration, President Joe Biden, via statement.

Those who are eligible for this round of student loan forgiveness will receive an email next week.

Thousands more who are enrolled in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program will receive emails "if they are within two years of having their debt forgiven," NPR reports.

The announcement comes as the president travels the country to campaign for reelection.

From day one of my administration, I promised to fix broken student loan programs and make sure higher education is a ticket to the middle class, not a barrier to opportunity, President Joe Biden, via statement.

I won't back down from using every tool at my disposal to deliver student debt relief to more Americans, and build an economy from the middle out and bottom up, President Joe Biden, via statement

Trump Promises 'Largest Deportation Program' in U.S. History, Military Power to Lead the Charge

President-elect Donald Trump has confirmed plans to launch the "largest deportation program" in U.S. history, utilising military power to carry out mass deportations of undocumented migrants. This announcement follows his election victory, during which immigration reform was a central issue. Trump has pledged to deport millions of illegal immigrants, focusing on stabilising the U.S.-Mexico border and addressing the surge in illegal crossings during President Joe Biden's administration. The program will involve military assets, with Trump amplifying the approach via social media. The initiative aims to significantly reduce the number of undocumented migrants in the country, impacting millions of families, with critics warning of potential legal and humanitarian concerns.
