Government Turns to Top Court Following Unsuccessful Attempt to Block Food Stamp Payment Order
This past Friday, immediately after a federal appeals court ruled that the government must fully fund Snap food aid payments, the White House sought intervention from the supreme court in a additional attempt to block the order.
Within hours, the highest court released an temporary injunction temporarily blocking entire food stamp payments, which approximately 42 million individuals count on to feed their families.
“Legal counsel persist in battling, around the clock, to protect and further the administration's agenda,” a senior official announced on digital channels shortly after 9:30pm ET.
White House staff had requested the federal appeals court to stop a judicial decision requiring them to issue the upcoming entire food stamp benefits amid a federal closure, and faced refusal later the same day.
US Supreme Court Issues Temporary Injunction Stopping Full Nutrition Assistance Disbursements
The supreme court's order was issued after the government asked a federal appeals court last Friday to stop a judge’s order requiring them to issue this month's entire nutritional aid amid a US federal government shutdown.
After that request to block faced refusal, the administration appealed to the supreme court in a new attempt to block the order to completely finance nutrition assistance payments.
