The group argued that the DOE did not follow rule-making procedure by allowing a public comment period for Americans to weigh-in on the proposed rule.
Ortiz also lamented that forgiving student loans with the HEROs Act is outside the scope of what the bill was intended.
He attended oral arguments at the Supreme Court earlier this year.
