Much better to have a President that is 2 faced. It took "hope n spare change" O'Banker to bring back debtor's prison. Awesome! __ US Marshals arresting people for not paying their federal student loans FOX 26 News reporter Isiah Carey By: Isiah Carey Posted:Feb 15 2016 07:02PM CST Updated:Feb 16 2016 11:52AM CST fox26houston.com HOUSTON (FOX 26) - Believe it or not, the US Marshals Service in Houston is arresting people for not paying their outstanding federal student loans. Paul Aker says he was arrested at his home last week for a $1500 federal student loan he received in 1987. He says seven deputy US Marshals showed up at his home with guns and took him to federal court where he had to sign a payment plan for the 29-year-old school loan. Congressman Gene Green says the federal government is now using private debt collectors to go after those who owe student loans. Green says as a result, those attorneys and debt collectors are getting judgements in federal court and asking judges to use the US Marshals Service to arrest those who have failed to pay their federal student loans. Our reliable source with the US Marshal in Houston say Aker isn't the first and won't be the last. They have to serve anywhere from 1200 to 1500 warrants to people who have failed to pay their federal student loans.
