  1. The #Trump admin promptly sued #Illinois, saying the #law violated the #Constitution’s #SupremacyClause, which generally prohibits #states from enacting measures at odds with #FederalLaw. Whether to allow lawsuits against #federal agents for violating the federal #Constitution, the admin’s complaint said, “is a policy choice for Congress.” [ridiculous]

    Professor Amar said aspects of the IL #StateLaW might be problematic, but that its core idea is sound.

  6. His central point for present purposes was that #state #legislatures can authorize lawsuits against #federal officials for violating the #Constitution. If that is right, such #StateLaws would close an odd gap in #FederalLaw that—broadly speaking—allows such suits against state & local officials, like police officers, but not against #federal ones, like #ICE agents.

  11. #Teachers sue #Trump admin for stopping affordable #StudentLoan repayment plans

    The American Federation of Teachers represents 1.8 million educators.

    "One of America's largest unions is taking aim at President Donald Trump's administration for shutting down access to affordable student loan repayment plans -- saying the decision is 'effectively breaking' the system.

    "The American Federation of Teachers (#AFT), representing 1.8 million educators across the country, filed a lawsuit against the #DepartmentOfEducation in Washington, D.C., hoping to restore the programs that have now been shuttered for three weeks.

    "The filing alleges the administration halting the application process for all Income-Driven Repayment (#IDR) plans and ordering student loan servicers to stop all processing violates #FederalLaw.

    "AFT sued the United States Department of Education (ED) for effectively breaking the student loan system, denying borrowers' access to affordable loan payments and blocking progress towards Public Service Loan Forgiveness (#PSLF), in violation of federal law,' the union said in a statement Wednesday."
