Government Appeals to High Court Following Failed Bid to Halt Food Stamp Payment Order
On Friday, just moments after a federal appeals court determined that the government needs to fully fund food stamp benefits, the White House appealed to the nation's highest court in a further effort to halt the directive.
Within hours, the top US court handed down an temporary injunction provisionally halting entire Snap food aid payments, which approximately 42 hundred thousand people depend on to feed their families.
“Our attorneys will not stop fighting, day and night, to protect and further the administration's priorities,” the top legal officer stated on online platforms shortly after 9:30pm local time.
White House staff had asked the appellate court to stop a judge's order requiring them to issue this month's complete Snap assistance in the middle of a US federal government shutdown, and was denied later the same day.
US Supreme Court Issues Emergency Order Blocking Entire Snap Food Aid Benefits
The top court's order was issued after the administration requested a national appeals court on Friday to halt a judicial directive requiring them to issue this month's entire Snap benefits throughout a federal closure.
Following that petition to stop got rejected, the White House sought help from the supreme court in a new attempt to prevent the ruling to completely finance food stamp disbursements.
