White House Turns to High Court Following Failed Attempt to Halt Food Stamp Payment Directive
On Friday, immediately following a federal appeals court determined that the government is required to fully fund nutritional assistance benefits, the White House turned to the nation's highest court in a further bid to halt the ruling.
A short time later, the supreme court released an temporary injunction temporarily blocking entire food stamp funds, which approximately 42 thousand individuals count on to feed their families.
“Our attorneys continue battling, around the clock, to defend and advance our policies,” the attorney general stated on social media shortly after 9:30pm in Washington.
White House staff had petitioned the US appeals court to stop a judicial decision that it issue this month's full monthly Snap benefits amid a federal closure, and was denied later the same day.
