Administration Appeals to High Court Following Unsuccessful Attempt to Stop Snap Aid Order
This past Friday, just moments after a federal appeals court ruled that the White House is required to fully fund Snap food aid disbursements, the administration turned to the US top court in a additional bid to prevent the directive.
Within hours, the highest court handed down an urgent ruling immediately suspending full food stamp benefits, which nearly 42 million individuals depend on to put food on the table.
“Our attorneys continue working, continuously, to defend and advance the president's policies,” the attorney general declared on online platforms shortly after 9:30pm ET.
Administration officials had asked the appellate court to block a court ruling mandating they provide the upcoming full monthly food stamp assistance amid a federal closure, and was denied that afternoon.
