Moneywise: The US government is coming for millions of American paychecks — are you one of them? Here’s what to do if Uncle Sam garnishes your wages
Earlier this year, the Trump administration ended programs that gave a break to people who had fallen behind on their student loans. Now, those borrowers have to start paying again — and the government can take money directly from paychecks, tax refunds, or Social Security checks to collect what’s owed.
These changes don’t just impact a small minority. As of July, 5.8 million Americans of all ages could be in technical default, according to TransUnion. That’s one in every three people who have outstanding federal student loans.
If you’ve ever attended college, there’s a significant chance this impacts you. Here’s what you need to know.

Miami Herald: Sweeping ICE Arrests Spark Outrage
Trump-era deportation practices have impacted numerous long-term U.S. residents, with many having lived in the country for over a decade. The Kino Border Initiative found that many targeted individuals entered under previous administrations, raising concerns of family separations and a lack of due process.
Local and state law enforcement has contributed significantly in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s efforts, with over a third of deportations being triggered by police stops.
The Kino Border Initiative stated, “According to our survey responses, 57.2% of people deported were living in the U.S. at the time of their detention, compared to only 5% of deportees that KBI served in 2024.”
The Kino Border Initiative added, “Many of these individuals have deep roots in their communities, including U.S.-born children, spouses, and other dependents.”
Nearly 1,700 deportation flights by Global Crossing Airlines relocated thousands, with multiple transfers between detention centers creating what advocates have labeled a “purgatorial” state.
Human rights groups have criticized these practices as overly harsh, citing the hardship on families. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) defended its procedures, saying transfers follow guidelines and immigrants are kept informed. Democratic lawmakers have called for reforms, emphasizing non-criminal cases.
DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin said, “Parents, who are in the US illegally, can take control of their departure. Through the [Customs and Border Protection] Home App, the Trump administration is giving parents illegally in the country a chance to take full control of their departure and self-deport, with the potential ability to return the legal, right way and come back to live the American dream.”
McLaughlin added, “Rather than separate families, ICE asks parents if they want to be removed with their children or if the child should be placed with someone safe the parent designates.”
