Lawmakers are gathering at the capitol for a special legislative session after Gov. Sanders asked to lower taxes and address funding for one of the state's agencies.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Attorney General Tim Griffin announced that the state has secured a preliminary injunction to stop President Biden’s latest attempt to cancel student loans without authorization from Congress.

The decision came in the Missouri v. Biden lawsuit, which Arkansas is co-leading with Missouri and joined by Florida, Georgia, North Dakota, Ohio, and Oklahoma.

Griffin issued the following statement on the matter:

“With Independence Day fast approaching, another court has reminded President Biden that he is not a king. He can’t go around Congress and unilaterally cancel student loans. He should have learned that from Schoolhouse Rock. And whenever he ignores that lesson, I will be there on behalf of Arkansans to remind him.”
