Administration Seeks Help from Top Court Following Unsuccessful Bid to Block Snap Aid Order
Last Friday, just moments after a US appeals court decided that the White House must completely finance food stamp benefits, the federal government turned to the nation's highest court in a further effort to block the order.
Not long after, the top US court handed down an temporary injunction provisionally halting complete nutrition assistance funds, which close to 42 million Americans rely on to buy groceries.
“Legal counsel will not stop fighting, around the clock, to defend and advance the administration's agenda,” a senior official announced on online platforms around 9:30pm ET.
Government representatives had asked the federal appeals court to overturn a court ruling mandating they issue the upcoming complete food stamp assistance amid a federal closure, and was denied that afternoon.
