Administration Turns to High Court Following Unsuccessful Bid to Stop Snap Aid Order

On Friday, just moments after a US appeals court ruled that the administration needs to completely finance Snap food aid benefits, the White House turned to the supreme court in a additional attempt to halt the ruling.

Not long after, the highest court handed down an temporary injunction immediately suspending complete food stamp payments, which nearly 42 hundred thousand Americans depend on to put food on the table.

“Our attorneys continue working, around the clock, to protect and further the administration's policies,” a senior official announced on online platforms just after 9:30pm in Washington.

Administration officials had requested the appellate court to stop a judge's order mandating they provide November’s complete Snap benefits amid a government funding lapse, and was denied later the same day.

The high court’s order followed the White House petitioned a federal appeals court last Friday to stop a judge’s order requiring them to provide November’s entire nutritional aid amid a federal closure.

After that request to stop got rejected, the administration sought help from the nation's top court in a further bid to halt the directive to fully fund nutrition assistance disbursements.
