White House Appeals to High Court After Failed Attempt to Stop Snap Payment Order
This past Friday, shortly following a US appeals court ruled that the White House needs to pay for Snap food aid payments, the federal government turned to the US top court in a additional bid to block the order.
Within hours, the highest court issued an temporary injunction provisionally halting entire Snap food aid benefits, which nearly 42 million people count on to buy groceries.
“Legal counsel continue fighting, around the clock, to defend and advance the president's agenda,” the attorney general declared on digital channels just after 9:30pm local time.
Government representatives had requested the appellate court to overturn a court ruling that it distribute the upcoming full monthly food stamp payments during a US federal government shutdown, and was denied later the same day.
