White House Appeals to Top Court After Unsuccessful Attempt to Halt Food Stamp Aid Order
This past Friday, just moments after a US appeals court determined that the White House must pay for Snap food aid payments, the administration turned to the supreme court in a further bid to prevent the directive.
A short time later, the highest court issued an temporary injunction provisionally halting complete Snap food aid funds, which approximately 42 million Americans depend on to feed their families.
“Legal counsel continue battling, continuously, to protect and further the administration's priorities,” the top legal officer stated on online platforms around 9:30pm ET.
Administration officials had asked the US appeals court to stop a judge's order that it issue the upcoming entire nutritional benefits during a federal closure, and had their request rejected hours later.
US Supreme Court Issues Emergency Order Stopping Entire Snap Food Aid Payments
The high court’s decision followed the government asked a US appellate court last Friday to block a court ruling requiring them to provide the upcoming complete food stamp benefits during a government funding lapse.
After that request to block faced refusal, the White House turned to the nation's top court in a further attempt to prevent the directive to pay for Snap food aid benefits.
