Recent report sheds light on how federal student loan borrowers are managing repayment
SUMMARY: Nearly a year after federal student loan payments resumed, many borrowers are adjusting to the burden of debt. A recent report found that about half of borrowers are current on their payments, while nearly 30% are overdue. Financial strain has made prioritizing student loans difficult for many, as daily expenses like rent and food take precedence. Attorney Christy Arkovich highlights important upcoming deadlines: the “Fresh Start” program for borrowers in default ends on September 30, and a temporary “on-ramp” that prevents negative credit reporting also concludes that day, potentially leading to garnishments starting October 1.
It’s been almost a year since federal student loan payments restarted, and a recent report is shedding light on how borrowers are handling that debt.

SUMMARY: Dr. Wafaa Alrashid, chief medical officer at Huntington Hospital, witnessed fear among Latino patients amid immigration raids in Southern California.

DeSantis responds to Orange County mayor on removal of undocumented migrants
SUMMARY: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis defended immigration enforcement efforts after Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings initially refused to sign the 287(g) agreement allowing local law enforcement to assist ICE.

Attorney General James Uthmeier praised Demings’ change in position, though Demings criticized Uthmeier for personal attacks. DeSantis stressed the importance of public safety and rule of law and applauded Florida Highway Patrol’s partnership with ICE, promising pay raises for troopers. Democratic Rep. Anna Eskamani condemned the initiative as politically motivated and harmful to immigrant communities.
