His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

They hired him and sent him to Jackson, Mississippi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was the sole attorney for the ACLU in the state of Mississippi in 1979, and it was an incredible experience,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcrmag/2017/07/RobertRubin.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/RS25971_Court-qut.jpg\" Title=\"Attorney Robert Rubin Continues Lifelong Fight for Social Justice\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a rookie lawyer, Rubin gave oral arguments in the federal Court of Appeals.

During his two years in Jackson, Rubin saw people -- and even the press -- fearlessly reveal their racism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One Sunday morning during his time in Mississippi, he was flipping through the Sunday paper in bed. He stopped on a political cartoon of terrorists being defended by a comically snooty lawyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Wait a minute.

The judge is allowing entry by grandparents, grandchildren and other family members of people in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an order issued late Thursday, federal District Court Judge Derrick Watson also found that any refugees with ties to resettlement agencies in the U.S. that are preparing to receive them should be exempt from the travel ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's another legal setback for an executive order that's been tied up in court for months. Attorney General Jeff Sessions says the administration will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to void the judge's ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court ruled in June that a scaled-back version of the ban on people seeking to travel here from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen could proceed. But the high court said it could not be enforced against those who have a \"bona fide relationship\" with people in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration said that would include parents, spouses, fiances, sons, daughters, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law or siblings. But the government excluded grandparents and grandchildren from its definition of \"close family,\" along with brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[T]he Government's definition represents the antithesis of common sense,\" Watson wrote. \"Common sense, for instance, dictates that close family members be defined to include grandparents. Indeed, grandparents are the epitome of close family members. The Government's definition excludes them. That simply cannot be.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watson's order is also a win for refugee resettlement agencies. They argued that their relationship with refugees who have already been approved to travel to the U.S. should count as \"bona fide\" under the Supreme Court's order. Lawyers for the Trump administration argued otherwise, because the State Department acts as an intermediary until the refugee actually arrives in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the judge rejected the administration's argument.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"An assurance from a United States refugee resettlement agency, in fact, meets each of the Supreme Court's touchstones: it is formal, it is a documented contract, it is binding, it triggers responsibilities and obligations,\" Watson wrote. \"Bona fide does not get any more bona fide than that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watson's decision could open the door for tens of thousands of additional refugees who have been approved for travel, but would have been barred from entry into the U.S. under the travel ban. Earlier this week, the refugee program reached the cap of 50,000 refugees – not necessarily with family ties – for the 2017 fiscal year that was imposed by the executive order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday's ruling came in response to the state of Hawaii's request for an injunction against the Trump administration's enforcement of the ban on expanded family members and refugees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ag.hawaii.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/News-Release-2017-90.pdf\">In a statement\u003c/a>, Hawaii Attorney General Douglas Chin said, \"The federal court today makes clear that the U.S. Government may not ignore the scope of the partial travel ban as it sees fit. Family members have been separated and real people have suffered enough. Courts have found that this Executive Order has no basis in stopping terrorism and is just a pretext for illegal and unconstitutional discrimination. We will continue preparing for arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court in October.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Washington, Attorney General Sessions released a statement saying, \"Once again, we are faced with a situation in which a single federal district court has undertaken by a nationwide injunction to micromanage decisions of the co-equal Executive Branch related to our national security.\" He said he will appeal the Hawaii judge's action to the Supreme Court to \"vindicate the rule of law and the Executive Branch's duty to protect the nation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

They argued that their relationship with refugees who have already been approved to travel to the U.S. should count as \"bona fide\" under the Supreme Court's order. Lawyers for the Trump administration argued otherwise, because the State Department acts as an intermediary until the refugee actually arrives in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the judge rejected the administration's argument.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"An assurance from a United States refugee resettlement agency, in fact, meets each of the Supreme Court's touchstones: it is formal, it is a documented contract, it is binding, it triggers responsibilities and obligations,\" Watson wrote. \"Bona fide does not get any more bona fide than that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watson's decision could open the door for tens of thousands of additional refugees who have been approved for travel, but would have been barred from entry into the U.S. under the travel ban. Earlier this week, the refugee program reached the cap of 50,000 refugees – not necessarily with family ties – for the 2017 fiscal year that was imposed by the executive order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday's ruling came in response to the state of Hawaii's request for an injunction against the Trump administration's enforcement of the ban on expanded family members and refugees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ag.hawaii.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/News-Release-2017-90.pdf\">In a statement\u003c/a>, Hawaii Attorney General Douglas Chin said, \"The federal court today makes clear that the U.S. Government may not ignore the scope of the partial travel ban as it sees fit. Family members have been separated and real people have suffered enough. Courts have found that this Executive Order has no basis in stopping terrorism and is just a pretext for illegal and unconstitutional discrimination. We will continue preparing for arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court in October.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Washington, Attorney General Sessions released a statement saying, \"Once again, we are faced with a situation in which a single federal district court has undertaken by a nationwide injunction to micromanage decisions of the co-equal Executive Branch related to our national security.\" He said he will appeal the Hawaii judge's action to the Supreme Court to \"vindicate the rule of law and the Executive Branch's duty to protect the nation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>A free speech law center says President Trump and his staff are breaking the law when they block his critics on Twitter. The Knight First Amendment Institute has filed a lawsuit saying the president's Twitter feed is a public forum protected by the First Amendment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit, filed Tuesday, accuses the White House of suppressing dissent by excluding Twitter users who criticize Trump or his policies. It cites recent statements by White House staff that deem tweets from the president's \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@realDonaldTrump account\u003c/a> as official statements, as well as a recent Supreme Court opinion that called Twitter and Facebook \"perhaps the most powerful mechanisms available to a private citizen to make his or her voice heard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit was filed by seven people who have been blocked from Trump's account, along with the Knight First Amendment Institute, which is affiliated with Columbia University. The group initially \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/06/07/531945516/free-speech-legal-center-threatens-to-sue-trump-for-blocking-twitter-users\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">threatened to sue a month ago\u003c/a>, when it sent the White House a letter demanding that it stop blocking people who respond critically to the president's messages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to preventing those citizens from reading and responding to the president's tweets, the group said, the practice violates others' rights to an open forum where they can hear critical debate. The Trump administration did not respond to that letter, the group said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The White House is transforming a public forum into an echo chamber,\" said Katie Fallow, a senior staff attorney at the Knight Institute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Discussing Trump's Twitter feed last month, Jameel Jaffer, the institute's executive director, told NPR's David Folkenflik, \"I don't even think it's arguable. It is the most important social media account operated by the U.S. government or a U.S. government official right now. And it is operated in order to get President Trump's opinions about government policy to Americans and to the world.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the lawsuit was filed, Jaffer released a statement saying: \"The First Amendment applies to this digital forum in the same way it applies to town halls and open school board meetings. The White House acts unlawfully when it excludes people from this forum simply because they've disagreed with the president.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

The Knight First Amendment Institute has filed a lawsuit saying the president's Twitter feed is a public forum protected by the First Amendment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit, filed Tuesday, accuses the White House of suppressing dissent by excluding Twitter users who criticize Trump or his policies. It cites recent statements by White House staff that deem tweets from the president's \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@realDonaldTrump account\u003c/a> as official statements, as well as a recent Supreme Court opinion that called Twitter and Facebook \"perhaps the most powerful mechanisms available to a private citizen to make his or her voice heard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit was filed by seven people who have been blocked from Trump's account, along with the Knight First Amendment Institute, which is affiliated with Columbia University. The group initially \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/06/07/531945516/free-speech-legal-center-threatens-to-sue-trump-for-blocking-twitter-users\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">threatened to sue a month ago\u003c/a>, when it sent the White House a letter demanding that it stop blocking people who respond critically to the president's messages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to preventing those citizens from reading and responding to the president's tweets, the group said, the practice violates others' rights to an open forum where they can hear critical debate. The Trump administration did not respond to that letter, the group said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The White House is transforming a public forum into an echo chamber,\" said Katie Fallow, a senior staff attorney at the Knight Institute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It is the most important social media account operated by the U.S. government or a U.S. government official right now. And it is operated in order to get President Trump's opinions about government policy to Americans and to the world.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the lawsuit was filed, Jaffer released a statement saying: \"The First Amendment applies to this digital forum in the same way it applies to town halls and open school board meetings.

Former employees have told NPR that if they didn't meet aggressive sales goals they were threatened with their jobs, and that many employees were pushed out or fired for not meeting sales quotas.

Knowing the identity of the company is important.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It shows that the growers are on the defensive,\" said Economos at the Farmworker Association of Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Monterey County the agricultural commissioner early on identified Tanimura & Antle as the company it's investigating in connection with the incident that hospitalized 18 celery workers on June 22.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokeswoman for the company said this week that the firm is eager to see the results of the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The health and safety of our workers is our primary concern,\" said Samantha Cabaluna.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She noted that while 18 workers were hospitalized, not all of them showed symptoms of exposure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Farm Bureau Federation, an industry group that represents farmers and ranchers in almost every county of the state, says it supports \"prompt, consistent penalties for incidents in which pesticides are misused in ways that cause public or environmental injury,\" according to the organization's spokesman, Dave Kranz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our organization also supports continuing education of pest control advisers and applicators in the safe and effective use of pesticides.

A week earlier 18 celery workers were taken to the Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System's emergency room after some of them became ill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those cases came less than two months after more than 50 farmworkers were \u003ca href=\"http://www.kerngoldenempire.com/news/local-news/pesticide-drift-halts-harvest-southwest-of-bakersfield/707948015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reportedly \u003c/a>exposed to a pesticide drift southwest of Bakersfield that made some of them sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Farmworkers in so many ways have become invisible.

Knowing the identity of the company is important.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It shows that the growers are on the defensive,\" said Economos at the Farmworker Association of Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Monterey County the agricultural commissioner early on identified Tanimura & Antle as the company it's investigating in connection with the incident that hospitalized 18 celery workers on June 22.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokeswoman for the company said this week that the firm is eager to see the results of the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The health and safety of our workers is our primary concern,\" said Samantha Cabaluna.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She noted that while 18 workers were hospitalized, not all of them showed symptoms of exposure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Farm Bureau Federation, an industry group that represents farmers and ranchers in almost every county of the state, says it supports \"prompt, consistent penalties for incidents in which pesticides are misused in ways that cause public or environmental injury,\" according to the organization's spokesman, Dave Kranz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our organization also supports continuing education of pest control advisers and applicators in the safe and effective use of pesticides.

"content": "\u003cp>California Attorney General Xavier Becerra joined 17 other attorneys general Thursday, suing Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and her department over her decision to delay regulations cracking down on for-profit colleges that mislead students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Obama-era regulations were supposed to take effect July 1. They would have allowed loan forgiveness in cases of misconduct by schools and made it easier for states to punish bad actors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Whether it’s Corinthian Colleges or Trump University, no student deserves to have their parents' -- or their own -- hard-earned money fraudulently taken away from them with nothing in return,\" Becerra said in an interview with KQED News.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attorney general is referring to President Trump's now-defunct real estate training program and Corinthian Colleges, which shut down and eventually filed for bankruptcy after Becerra's predecessor sued over its predatory practices. Then-Attorney General Kamala Harris -- now a U.S. senator -- secured a $1 billion judgment against Corinthian Colleges on behalf of students. Then-President-elect Trump also settled three lawsuits alleging fraud and illegal business practices last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These regulations do, for America's parents and kids going to college, what we simply expect to happen anyhow -- which is that our students get educated, not ripped off, when they go to a college,\" Becerra said. \"The regulations were the product of these cases against sham universities like Corinthians, and essentially try to provide these protections to avoid this sort of defrauding from occurring in the future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra said the Trump administration is \"not above the law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you’ve completed a process for enacting a law or regulation, then it must be implemented and obeyed,\" he said. \"The Trump administration ... doesn't have a right to selectively decide which laws and regulations it will execute and which it will abandon.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit -- brought by California, 17 other states and the District of Columbia -- accuses DeVos of breaking federal law and giving free rein to for-profit colleges by rescinding the Borrower Defense Rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit asks a U.S. District Court to declare the Education Department's delay of the rule unlawful and to order the agency to implement it. The states say they have pursued \"numerous costly and time-intensive investigations and enforcement actions against proprietary and for-profit schools\" that violated consumer protection laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Borrower Defense Rule was adopted by the Obama administration last November and had been set to take effect this month. It was created to make it \"simpler for students at colleges found to be fraudulent to get their loans forgiven,\" as \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2017/06/17/531930366/devos-rolls-back-for-profit-college-regs-harvards-president-to-step-down\">NPR's Ed team\u003c/a> has reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Large amounts of money are potentially at stake. As the states' complaint notes, \"taxpayers invested $32 billion in for-profit schools in the 2009-10 academic year, more than the annual budget of the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of State during that time period.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rule was put on hold in June, less than one month after DeVos said her agency would re-evaluate it. The states say DeVos moved too quickly to quash the rule and did so without public comment, particularly compared with the rule's genesis in public hearings that began in September 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos called her move \u003ca href=\"https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/secretary-devos-announces-regulatory-reset-protect-students-taxpayers-higher-ed-institutions\">a \"regulatory reset\"\u003c/a> when she announced that the Department of Education would convene new public hearings on the rule that are scheduled to be held next week. The secretary said the rulemaking process had \"missed an opportunity to get it right\" and created \"a muddled process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The states in the new federal complaint disagree, saying that DeVos is trying to use a lawsuit filed by the California Association of Private Postsecondary Schools, a trade organization, as \"a pretext\" to avoid legal requirements for a federal notice and comment period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Since Day 1, Secretary DeVos has sided with for-profit school executives against students and families drowning in unaffordable student loans,\" Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey said in a news release about Thursday's court filing. \"Her decision to cancel vital protections for students and taxpayers is a betrayal of her office's responsibility and a violation of federal law. We call on Secretary DeVos and the U.S. Department of Education to restore these rules immediately.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Borrower Defense Rule was negotiated after two large for-profit chains — \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2015/04/27/402560783/the-largest-for-profit-college-shutdown-in-history\">Corinthian Colleges\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2016/12/07/502601724/what-former-employees-say-itt-tech-did-to-scam-its-students\">ITT Technical Institute\u003c/a> — shut down hundreds of campuses following regulatory crackdowns in recent years. The rule would allow borrowers to have their loans forgiven if a state has successfully taken action against a for-profit school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"4PE0wrN7qiOZTvodokLqBeHhQisQXPqf\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nearly 16,000 borrower defense claims are currently being processed,\" the Education Department said last month. Despite the postponement, DeVos said, \"promises made to students under the current rule will be promises kept.\" She added, \"Some borrowers should expect to obtain discharges within the next several weeks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to providing relief for students, the rule would also empower the Department of Education to seek money from schools where loans were forgiven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For-profit schools receive the vast majority of their revenue from the federal government in the form of federal student loans and grants,\" the civil complaint notes. \"In 2009, the 15 publicly traded for-profit education companies received 86 percent of their revenues from taxpayer-funded loans.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attorneys general who filed the lawsuit are from California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and the District of Columbia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These rules served as critical protections against predatory for-profit schools that exploit hard-working students — students who are simply trying to invest in their own education and future,\" said New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. \"When Washington abdicates its responsibility to protect New Yorkers, we won't hesitate to step in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post includes reporting by KQED's Marisa Lagos.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

They would have allowed loan forgiveness in cases of misconduct by schools and made it easier for states to punish bad actors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Whether it’s Corinthian Colleges or Trump University, no student deserves to have their parents' -- or their own -- hard-earned money fraudulently taken away from them with nothing in return,\" Becerra said in an interview with KQED News.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attorney general is referring to President Trump's now-defunct real estate training program and Corinthian Colleges, which shut down and eventually filed for bankruptcy after Becerra's predecessor sued over its predatory practices. Then-Attorney General Kamala Harris -- now a U.S. senator -- secured a $1 billion judgment against Corinthian Colleges on behalf of students. Then-President-elect Trump also settled three lawsuits alleging fraud and illegal business practices last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These regulations do, for America's parents and kids going to college, what we simply expect to happen anyhow -- which is that our students get educated, not ripped off, when they go to a college,\" Becerra said. \"The regulations were the product of these cases against sham universities like Corinthians, and essentially try to provide these protections to avoid this sort of defrauding from occurring in the future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The states say they have pursued \"numerous costly and time-intensive investigations and enforcement actions against proprietary and for-profit schools\" that violated consumer protection laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Borrower Defense Rule was adopted by the Obama administration last November and had been set to take effect this month. It was created to make it \"simpler for students at colleges found to be fraudulent to get their loans forgiven,\" as \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2017/06/17/531930366/devos-rolls-back-for-profit-college-regs-harvards-president-to-step-down\">NPR's Ed team\u003c/a> has reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Large amounts of money are potentially at stake. As the states' complaint notes, \"taxpayers invested $32 billion in for-profit schools in the 2009-10 academic year, more than the annual budget of the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of State during that time period.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rule was put on hold in June, less than one month after DeVos said her agency would re-evaluate it. The states say DeVos moved too quickly to quash the rule and did so without public comment, particularly compared with the rule's genesis in public hearings that began in September 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos called her move \u003ca href=\"https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/secretary-devos-announces-regulatory-reset-protect-students-taxpayers-higher-ed-institutions\">a \"regulatory reset\"\u003c/a> when she announced that the Department of Education would convene new public hearings on the rule that are scheduled to be held next week. The secretary said the rulemaking process had \"missed an opportunity to get it right\" and created \"a muddled process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The states in the new federal complaint disagree, saying that DeVos is trying to use a lawsuit filed by the California Association of Private Postsecondary Schools, a trade organization, as \"a pretext\" to avoid legal requirements for a federal notice and comment period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Since Day 1, Secretary DeVos has sided with for-profit school executives against students and families drowning in unaffordable student loans,\" Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey said in a news release about Thursday's court filing. \"Her decision to cancel vital protections for students and taxpayers is a betrayal of her office's responsibility and a violation of federal law. We call on Secretary DeVos and the U.S. Department of Education to restore these rules immediately.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Borrower Defense Rule was negotiated after two large for-profit chains — \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2015/04/27/402560783/the-largest-for-profit-college-shutdown-in-history\">Corinthian Colleges\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2016/12/07/502601724/what-former-employees-say-itt-tech-did-to-scam-its-students\">ITT Technical Institute\u003c/a> — shut down hundreds of campuses following regulatory crackdowns in recent years. The rule would allow borrowers to have their loans forgiven if a state has successfully taken action against a for-profit school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nearly 16,000 borrower defense claims are currently being processed,\" the Education Department said last month. Despite the postponement, DeVos said, \"promises made to students under the current rule will be promises kept.\" She added, \"Some borrowers should expect to obtain discharges within the next several weeks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to providing relief for students, the rule would also empower the Department of Education to seek money from schools where loans were forgiven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For-profit schools receive the vast majority of their revenue from the federal government in the form of federal student loans and grants,\" the civil complaint notes. \"In 2009, the 15 publicly traded for-profit education companies received 86 percent of their revenues from taxpayer-funded loans.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attorneys general who filed the lawsuit are from California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and the District of Columbia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These rules served as critical protections against predatory for-profit schools that exploit hard-working students — students who are simply trying to invest in their own education and future,\" said New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. \"When Washington abdicates its responsibility to protect New Yorkers, we won't hesitate to step in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post includes reporting by KQED's Marisa Lagos.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.
