White House Appeals to Top Court Following Failed Bid to Stop Snap Aid Directive
On Friday, shortly after a national appellate court ruled that the government must pay for food stamp benefits, the federal government sought intervention from the US top court in a new attempt to halt the order.
Within hours, the supreme court released an temporary injunction temporarily blocking entire Snap food aid payments, which approximately 42 million people depend on to feed their families.
“Our attorneys will not stop fighting, day and night, to support and promote the president's policies,” the top legal officer announced on online platforms around 9:30pm ET.
Administration officials had petitioned the appellate court to block a judge's order requiring them to issue the upcoming full monthly food stamp benefits during a US federal government shutdown, and was denied hours later.
The High Court Releases Temporary Injunction Blocking Entire Food Stamp Benefits
The high court’s ruling came after the administration requested a US appellate court this past Friday to stop a judicial directive that it distribute this month's entire nutritional assistance throughout a federal closure.
Subsequent to that appeal to halt was denied, the White House appealed to the high court in a further effort to block the order to pay for Snap food aid benefits.
