Government Turns to Top Court After Unsuccessful Attempt to Block Snap Aid Order
Last Friday, shortly after a US appeals court ruled that the government needs to pay for nutritional assistance payments, the administration turned to the US top court in a further attempt to halt the directive.
Not long after, the supreme court issued an emergency order provisionally halting full nutrition assistance payments, which approximately 42 hundred thousand Americans rely on to put food on the table.
“Government lawyers persist in fighting, day and night, to support and promote the administration's agenda,” the top legal officer announced on digital channels around 9:30pm local time.
White House staff had asked the federal appeals court to block a judicial decision mandating they provide this month's full monthly nutritional payments amid a government funding lapse, and had their request rejected later the same day.
US Supreme Court Releases Urgent Ruling Halting Entire Food Stamp Payments
The supreme court's order came after the government requested a national appeals court on Friday to block a judicial directive mandating they issue this month's entire food stamp benefits amid a US federal government shutdown.
Following that petition to halt was denied, the government turned to the supreme court in a new effort to prevent the order to pay for Snap food aid payments.
