White House Appeals to Supreme Court After Unsuccessful Attempt to Block Snap Aid Order
On Friday, just moments after a US appeals court ruled that the White House must fully fund food stamp benefits, the White House appealed to the nation's highest court in a additional effort to prevent the directive.
A short time later, the top US court issued an temporary injunction immediately suspending complete nutrition assistance payments, which approximately 42 thousand people count on to put food on the table.
“Legal counsel will not stop battling, day and night, to support and promote our agenda,” the attorney general stated on social media just after 9:30pm in Washington.
White House staff had asked the US appeals court to block a judicial decision requiring them to issue November’s complete food stamp benefits amid a US federal government shutdown, and faced refusal hours later.
US Supreme Court Grants Emergency Order Halting Full Snap Food Aid Payments
The top court's ruling was issued after the government requested a US appellate court last Friday to stop a judicial directive mandating they provide the upcoming entire nutritional assistance amid a federal closure.
After that request to stop was denied, the administration sought help from the nation's top court in a further bid to prevent the order to fully fund Snap food aid benefits.
