President Donald Trump is going after student borrowers.
He’s called past efforts at student debt relief “illegal.”
And he’s ramping up efforts to collect unpaid educational debt.

WBEZ's Lisa Kurian Philip brings you the story of one man who went back to school to gain financial security.
But the loans he borrowed to pay for it are getting in the way.
