President Donald Trump's administration faced fierce backlash Thursday after announcing a new regulation that potentially limits who qualifies for public service loan forgiveness, the flagship program that allows people to have student loans wiped out if they work in certain public service jobs for a required amount of time.

The new rule, as outlined by the Department of Education and set to take effect next year, "amends the definition of a 'qualifying employer' to 'exclude organizations that engage in unlawful activities such that they have a substantial illegal purpose, including supporting terrorism and aiding and abetting illegal immigration,'" according to Newsweek — and grants authority to the Secretary of Education to determine which employers fail this criteria.
