EXCLUSIVE — Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) is introducing the “No Loan Forgiveness for Hamas Supporters Act,” which would revoke student loan forgiveness eligibility for those convicted of “an unlawful activity” on college campuses.

The bill will “prohibit any person convicted of an unlawful activity on or after October 7, 2023, on a college campus from being eligible for public service loan forgiveness.”
