White House Appeals to Top Court After Failed Bid to Stop Snap Aid Order
On Friday, just moments after a US appeals court decided that the administration needs to fully fund food stamp benefits, the federal government turned to the US top court in a further effort to halt the directive.
Within hours, the top US court issued an emergency order temporarily blocking complete nutrition assistance funds, which close to 42 hundred thousand people rely on to buy groceries.
“Government lawyers persist in fighting, around the clock, to defend and advance our priorities,” a senior official announced on digital channels just after 9:30pm in Washington.
White House staff had requested the federal appeals court to overturn a court ruling that it distribute this month's entire food stamp payments amid a US federal government shutdown, and had their request rejected that afternoon.
