The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday temporarily halted a lower court order requiring the Trump administration to fund November’s SNAP benefits.
On Thursday, Rhode Island District Judge John McConnell ordered the Trump administration to fund SNAP benefits amid the Schumer shutdown.
The lawless judge directed the Trump administration to divert funds from child nutrition programs to SNAP. On Friday evening, the First Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Judge John McConnell’s order, requiring the administration to deliver full SNAP benefits to states by midnight.
