Description
Trump Administration Seeks to Halt $4 Billion in Food Aid Amid Government ShutdownThe Trump administration requested the Supreme Court to freeze $4 billion in food aid for low-income families until Congress approves a bill to reopen the government. This move comes as the Senate prepares to vote on a bill aiming to end the budget stalemate, which would provide full Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for its forty-two million recipients. The disputed funds are currently on hold following a court order from Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Democrats accuse the administration of withholding funds to pressure them into accepting healthcare cuts. The core issue revolves around whether the Department of Agriculture must use available reserves to cover the SNAP shortfall, which the government claims would endanger other programs.
