Administration Seeks Help from Supreme Court After Unsuccessful Attempt to Halt Food Stamp Aid Order
On Friday, immediately following a national appellate court determined that the administration is required to fully fund Snap food aid benefits, the federal government appealed to the supreme court in a additional effort to block the order.
Within hours, the top US court released an urgent ruling provisionally halting full food stamp funds, which approximately 42 million individuals rely on to buy groceries.
“Our attorneys will not stop fighting, around the clock, to defend and advance the president's agenda,” the attorney general announced on social media around 9:30pm in Washington.
Government representatives had petitioned the appellate court to overturn a judicial decision that it distribute the upcoming full monthly food stamp assistance amid a government funding lapse, and had their request rejected that afternoon.
