Administration Seeks Help from Top Court After Unsuccessful Bid to Halt Snap Payment Order
On Friday, just moments after a US appeals court ruled that the White House must pay for nutritional assistance disbursements, the White House sought intervention from the nation's highest court in a further bid to halt the order.
A short time later, the highest court handed down an temporary injunction temporarily blocking entire food stamp funds, which nearly 42 million individuals rely on to feed their families.
“Legal counsel continue working, continuously, to defend and advance our agenda,” a senior official announced on online platforms around 9:30pm local time.
Government representatives had asked the federal appeals court to stop a judicial decision that it issue November’s full monthly nutritional benefits during a federal closure, and was denied hours later.
