This past Friday, just moments after a national appellate court decided that the administration must fully fund food stamp benefits, the federal government sought intervention from the supreme court in a new effort to halt the order.

Not long after, the supreme court handed down an temporary injunction immediately suspending entire nutrition assistance benefits, which close to 42 million Americans rely on to buy groceries.

“Legal counsel persist in battling, continuously, to support and promote the administration's policies,” the top legal officer declared on online platforms just after 9:30pm local time.

Administration officials had asked the US appeals court to stop a court ruling mandating they provide November’s complete Snap assistance in the middle of a federal closure, and faced refusal that afternoon.

US Supreme Court Issues Temporary Injunction Stopping Full Snap Food Aid Disbursements

The top court's decision came after the administration asked a national appeals court last Friday to stop a judge’s order that it issue this month's full monthly nutritional aid during a US federal government shutdown.

Following that petition to stop was denied, the government turned to the high court in a new attempt to halt the ruling to fully fund food stamp disbursements.
