The US Education Department announced that the Trump administration will start garnishing the wages of student loan borrowers who are in default, starting in 2026. This is a long-planned move that could significantly impact economically vulnerable households. The garnishment will allow the government to collect repayments directly from the borrowers' paychecks, without their consent. This policy aims to recover unpaid student debt, but critics argue that it may further strain the financial situations of those already struggling to make ends meet. The announcement comes amidst ongoing debates around student debt relief and the affordability of higher education in the United States.
