White House Seeks Help from High Court After Unsuccessful Bid to Halt Snap Aid Directive
This past Friday, shortly following a national appellate court decided that the government is required to pay for food stamp disbursements, the administration appealed to the supreme court in a new attempt to block the ruling.
Not long after, the supreme court handed down an temporary injunction provisionally halting entire nutrition assistance payments, which nearly 42 thousand individuals depend on to feed their families.
“Government lawyers continue battling, day and night, to protect and further the administration's priorities,” a senior official announced on social media shortly after 9:30pm local time.
Government representatives had asked the federal appeals court to overturn a court ruling requiring them to issue November’s entire nutritional payments amid a government funding lapse, and had their request rejected later the same day.
