A FEDERAL judge has halted President Joe Biden s loan forgiveness program that aimed to assist disadvantaged ranchers and farmers of color.
The order comes in the wake of a lawsuit by a group of plaintiffs that claims that the program is racist because it allocates aid solely to non-white farmers.

Biden s Covid relief program offers $4billion in loan forgiveness for farmers who are Black, Native American, Hispanic, or Asian. In April, the program became the target of a discrimination lawsuit.
In response to the lawsuit, U.S. District Judge William Griesbach in Milwaukee issued a temporary restraining order on Thursday that suspends the program.
