CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, JUL 28 – A coalition of 20 states and Washington, D.C. filed a lawsuit to block USDA's demand for sensitive SNAP data amid concerns it will be used for immigration enforcement, affecting over 42 million recipients.
- On Monday, California Attorney General Rob Bonta and New York Attorney General Letitia James sued the USDA over its SNAP data demand, citing privacy and constitutional violations.

- More than 40 million SNAP beneficiaries receive benefits, and USDA expanded its request last week to include immigration status, household member information, and transactional records since 2020.
- Facing a Wednesday, the USDA warned noncompliance could trigger withholding of funds, but the states are asking a judge to block that action.
- Meanwhile, the Trump administration is pursuing efforts to link IRS and Medicaid data with immigration enforcement officials as part of its broader data-sharing initiatives.
