Administration Turns to High Court Following Failed Bid to Block Snap Payment Directive
This past Friday, just moments following a federal appeals court decided that the White House is required to pay for food stamp disbursements, the federal government appealed to the supreme court in a additional effort to halt the order.
Not long after, the top US court handed down an urgent ruling provisionally halting entire Snap food aid funds, which approximately 42 hundred thousand individuals depend on to feed their families.
“Legal counsel continue fighting, continuously, to defend and advance the administration's agenda,” the top legal officer stated on digital channels just after 9:30pm in Washington.
Administration officials had petitioned the appellate court to overturn a judicial decision mandating they distribute this month's full monthly food stamp assistance in the middle of a US federal government shutdown, and faced refusal that afternoon.

Following that petition to halt was denied, the White House appealed to the high court in a new bid to halt the directive to pay for nutrition assistance payments.
