Student loan borrowers may face wage garnishment

Millions of Americans in default on their federal student loans could soon see their wages garnished, as the U.S. Department of Education moves to restart aggressive collections. The policy shift comes as three Democratic senators introduced new legislation aimed at blocking wage garnishment and protecting borrowers already struggling with rising costs. The Trump administration, however, has pushed back against the proposal, arguing that enforcement is necessary to recover unpaid debt. The debate highlights growing tensions over how the federal government should handle student loan repayment and borrower relief moving forward.
