White House Appeals to Supreme Court After Unsuccessful Attempt to Halt Food Stamp Aid Order
This past Friday, just moments after a US appeals court determined that the administration is required to pay for food stamp payments, the White House sought intervention from the supreme court in a further attempt to halt the order.
Not long after, the highest court released an temporary injunction immediately suspending complete nutrition assistance benefits, which nearly 42 hundred thousand Americans depend on to feed their families.
“Government lawyers persist in fighting, around the clock, to support and promote the administration's agenda,” a senior official declared on digital channels shortly after 9:30pm ET.
Administration officials had requested the US appeals court to block a judge's order requiring them to distribute the upcoming full monthly Snap assistance amid a federal closure, and had their request rejected that afternoon.
