A federal judge this week ruled has against the Trump administration in a case that challenged the Education Department’s delayed implementation of Obama-era regulations aimed at shielding students from predatory lending practices.

The case was brought against Education Secretary Betsy DeVos last year by 19 states whose attorneys generals accused her of illegally postponing the rules, which were supposed to take effect on July 1, 2017. DeVos said in a press release at the time the Obama-era guidelines contributed to a “muddled process that’s unfair to students and schools.”
