White House Appeals to Top Court Following Failed Attempt to Stop Food Stamp Payment Order
On Friday, immediately following a US appeals court determined that the government must pay for Snap food aid disbursements, the White House sought intervention from the US top court in a new attempt to halt the directive.
Within hours, the top US court released an urgent ruling immediately suspending complete Snap food aid funds, which approximately 42 hundred thousand Americans rely on to put food on the table.
“Our attorneys continue fighting, continuously, to support and promote our agenda,” the attorney general stated on social media shortly after 9:30pm in Washington.
White House staff had petitioned the federal appeals court to block a court ruling requiring them to issue November’s full monthly Snap payments during a federal closure, and had their request rejected that afternoon.
