A judge says she’ll rule that the US still cannot force states to provide data on SNAP recipients
Judge Maxine Chesney blocks USDA's enforcement of data demands linked to immigration status amid fraud concerns affecting 42 million SNAP recipients nationwide.
- A tentative ruling Friday said President Donald Trump's administration cannot force states to hand over detailed SNAP records and plans to block federal action on last year's letters.
- After USDA warned in December that it would stop paying state administrative costs for SNAP, 22 states sued following claims the administration says data shows higher fraud, with most plaintiff states having Democratic governors.
- The data request targeted detailed records, including applicants' and recipients' immigration status, which states argued could be shared with immigration enforcement authorities, and USDA security protocols were rejected by states.
- Most states, including Nevada, complied with the SNAP data request while Kansas has not complied and has not joined the lawsuit affecting about 42 million Americans.
- The federal government maintains that the previous court ruling does not apply to its latest demands, and observers say this battle over SNAP records targets states led by Democrats amid broader funding disputes.
