Administration Seeks Help from Top Court After Failed Bid to Stop Snap Aid Order
On Friday, shortly after a US appeals court decided that the government is required to pay for Snap food aid disbursements, the federal government turned to the US top court in a further bid to block the order.
A short time later, the top US court issued an urgent ruling temporarily blocking complete Snap food aid funds, which nearly 42 hundred thousand Americans count on to buy groceries.
“Legal counsel persist in fighting, day and night, to protect and further our policies,” the attorney general stated on social media around 9:30pm ET.
White House staff had requested the appellate court to stop a judicial decision that it distribute this month's entire Snap assistance amid a US federal government shutdown, and was denied later the same day.
