Administration Appeals to High Court After Unsuccessful Bid to Stop Snap Aid Order
Last Friday, just moments following a national appellate court decided that the government needs to fully fund Snap food aid disbursements, the administration appealed to the nation's highest court in a new effort to prevent the ruling.
Within hours, the highest court released an emergency order temporarily blocking entire Snap food aid funds, which close to 42 million individuals rely on to buy groceries.
“Government lawyers will not stop fighting, day and night, to defend and advance the administration's agenda,” the attorney general stated on online platforms shortly after 9:30pm in Washington.
Administration officials had asked the federal appeals court to stop a court ruling that it distribute the upcoming entire food stamp benefits during a government funding lapse, and was denied that afternoon.
The High Court Grants Temporary Injunction Stopping Complete Snap Food Aid Payments
The high court’s decision came after the government requested a national appeals court this past Friday to block a judicial directive that it provide the upcoming complete food stamp assistance throughout a US federal government shutdown.
Following that petition to block was denied, the White House sought help from the supreme court in a additional bid to halt the ruling to fully fund food stamp disbursements.
