Administration Seeks Help from Supreme Court Following Failed Bid to Block Snap Aid Directive
On Friday, shortly after a US appeals court determined that the White House needs to pay for Snap food aid disbursements, the administration appealed to the US top court in a new bid to halt the directive.
Within hours, the highest court issued an urgent ruling provisionally halting full food stamp funds, which approximately 42 million individuals rely on to buy groceries.
“Government lawyers persist in working, day and night, to defend and advance the president's agenda,” the top legal officer declared on social media around 9:30pm local time.
White House staff had requested the appellate court to block a judge's order mandating they distribute November’s entire Snap payments amid a federal closure, and was denied later the same day.
