President Joe Biden is receiving a mix of criticism and praise after he announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, that he was moving ahead with his student loan debt forgiveness plan Monday. 

A federal judge in Michigan recently dismissed a challenge against Biden's student loan debt forgiveness plan from a legal group, the New Civil Liberties Alliance, for lacking standing, per Axios. Biden followed up that dismissal by touting his decision to push ahead with student loan forgiveness anyway, claiming that he would find another path to student loan removal. 

"For years, student loan borrowers haven't received forgiveness under their Income-Driven Repayment plans despite making payments for over 20 years," he wrote. "I'm determined to fix it. Today, thanks to my Administration's actions, 804,000 borrowers will start to see their debt cancelled."

"As I announced in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision on our student debt relief plan, we will continue to pursue an alternative path to deliver student debt relief to as many borrowers as possible as quickly as possible," Biden said. 

Investors, political groups and commentators battled over Biden’s announcement, with some praising the President for the policy while others rejected it as unfair. 

"Including students who took loans to pursue majors that don’t pay off?" venture capitalist Vinod Khosla wrote in response to Biden’s post. "Where does personal responsibility come in?"

Symboticware CEO Ash Agarwal claimed that Biden’s announcement came "[j]ust in time" because "[l]oan payments would have been resumed in September, and many families would have to choose between a meal and a payment. Good for them."

Pro-Bernie Sanders group "People for Bernie" told Biden that he "should cancel it all," referring to student loan debt.

Investor Santosh Sankar wrote that Biden’s forgiveness of student loans was the start of a dangerous path in American politics. 

"Slippery slope," he wrote. 

The Supreme Court initially ruled Biden’s student loan debt forgiveness plan as unconstitutional, with Chief Justice John Roberts citing then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi from 2021 in his argument that the president doesn't have the power to cancel federal student loan debt.

"‘People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not,’" Roberts quoted from Pelosi’s July 28, 2021, press conference. "‘He can postpone. He can delay. But he does not have that power. That has to be an act of Congress.’"

"We’re not backing down," Biden also wrote Monday. 

The Department of Education did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

The Islamic State group still commands between 5,000 and 7,000 members across its former stronghold in Syria and Iraq and its fighters pose the most serious terrorist threat in Afghanistan today, U.N. experts said in a report circulated Monday.

The experts monitoring sanctions against the militant group, also known by its Arab acronym Daesh, said that during the first half of 2023 the threat posed by IS remained "mostly high in conflict zones and low in non-conflict areas."

But the panel said in a report to the U.N. Security Council that "the overall situation is dynamic," and despite significant losses in the group's leadership and reduced activity in Syria and Iraq, the risk of its resurgence remains.

"The group has adapted its strategy, embedding itself with local populations, and has exercised caution in choosing battles that are likely to result in limited losses, while rebuilding and recruiting from camps in the northeast of the Syrian Arab Republic and from vulnerable communities, including in neighboring countries," the experts said.

The Islamic State group declared a self-styled caliphate in a large swath of territory in Syria and Iraq that it seized in 2014. It was declared defeated in Iraq in 2017 following a three-year battle that left tens of thousands of people dead and cities in ruins, but its sleeper cells remain in both countries.

Despite sustained counter-terrorism operations, Daesh continues to command between 5,000 and 7,000 members across Iraq and Syria, "most of whom are fighters," though it has reduced its attacks deliberately "to facilitate recruiting and reorganization," the experts said.

In northeast Syria, approximately 11,000 suspected Daesh fighters are being held in facilities of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, which have played a prominent role in the fight against IS, the panel said. The fighters include more than 3,500 Iraqis and approximately 2,000 from almost 70 nationalities, it said.

Northeast Syria is also the site of two closed camps – al-Hol and Roj – where the experts said some 55,000 people with alleged links or family ties to IS are living in "dire" conditions and "significant humanitarian hardship."

Approximately two-thirds of the population are children including over 11,800 Iraqis, nearly 16,000 Syrians and over 6,700 youngsters from more than 60 other countries, the experts said.

The panel quoted one unnamed country as saying Daesh has maintained its "Cubs of the Caliphate" program, recruiting children in the overcrowded al-Hol camp. In addition, more than 850 boys, some as young as 10, were in detention and rehabilitation centers in the northeast, the experts said.

In Afghanistan, the panel said U.N. members assess the Islamic State group poses the most serious terrorist threat to the country and the wider region. IS has reportedly increased its operational capabilities and now has an estimated 4,000 to 6,000 fighters and family members in Afghanistan, it said.

In Africa, on a positive note, the experts said the deployment of regional forces in Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado province disrupted the IS affiliate, and regional countries estimate it now has 180-220 male fighters with battlefield experience, down from 280 previously.

In the east, the experts said several countries expressed concern that terrorist groups like Daesh could exploit political violence and instability in conflict-wracked Sudan.

And some countries assess that the Daesh affiliate in Africa's Sahel "has become increasingly autonomous and had played a significant role in the escalation of violence in the region, alongside other terrorist groups," they said, pointing to increased IS attacks on several fronts in Mali and to a lesser extent in Burkina Faso and Niger.
